Summary
Heads You Win is the incredible and thrilling novel by the master storyteller and bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles and Kane and Abel, Jeffrey Archer.
Leningrad, Russia, 1968.
From an early age it is clear that Alexander Karpenko is destined to lead his countrymen. But when his father is assassinated by the KGB for defying the state, Alexander and his mother will have to escape Russia if they hope to survive. At the docks, they have an irreversible choice: board a container ship bound for America or one bound for Great Britain. Alexander leaves the choice to a toss of a coin...
In a single moment, a double twist decides Alexander’s future. During an epic tale, spanning two continents and thirty years, we follow Alexander through triumph and defeat as he sets out on parallel lives, as Alex in New York and Sasha in London. As this unique story unfolds, both come to realize that to find their destiny they must face the past they left behind as Alexander in Russia.
With a final twist that will shock even his most ardent fans, this is international number one bestseller Jeffrey Archer’s most ambitious and creative work since Kane and Abel.

Critic reviews
"The master storyteller returns with a nail-biter every bit as good as Kane and Abel – utterly enthralling." (Joanna Lumley)

Great storytelling with brilliant narration
I haven’t read a Jeffrey Archer book for many years but this was as good as I remember his gift for telling a story. However what made this memorable for me was Richard Armitage’s narration which brought the whole thing to life with the accents, clear diction and momentum - what a joy.

Another good read
Some nice twists in the story done in a most original perspective - do you turn left or turn tight? The story evolves around the journey taken for either a route. A nice subtle conclusion too!

Disappointing
“Not a Penny Less, Not a Penny More” was a book I read about 20 years ago and was captivated by Jeffrey Archer’s story telling. Unfortunately I found the story in this book highly convoluted and confusing. We were always told when writing a narrative that we had to make sure that we develop the characters in an orderly way, but I found I was having to skip back and forth to verify info. A real shame.
