Be Careful What You Wish for

International bestselling author Jeffrey Archer’s saga continues as the Clifton and Barrington families march forward into the sixties—and into a whole new world. . .

Harry Clifton and his wife, Emma, are rushing to the hospital to learn the fate of their son Sebastian, who has been involved in a car accident. But who has died: Sebastian or his best friend, Bruno?

"Thoroughly engaging."—Booklist

Back in London, Harry and Emma’s adopted daughter is engaged to be married. But can her future in-laws be trusted? Meanwhile, plans are under way for the Barrington Shipping Company as it sets to launch its new luxury liner, the MV Buckingham. But who will become the next chairman of the board: Emma Clifton or the egregious and spiteful Major Alex Fisher? Then, without warning, a new character enters the picture: Cedric Hardcastle, a bluff Yorkshireman with his own vision for the future of the shipping business—and who will alter the course of the Clifton and Barrington families’ lives forever...

"Excellent…Archer knows how to dole out tiny crumbs of suspense right up to the last page."—The Washington Post
