"Cat O' Nine Tales" is the sixth collection of irresistible short stories from the master storyteller illustrated by the internationally acclaimed artist, Ronald Searle, creator of "Molesworth". These twelve yarns are so satisfying because they are ingeniously plotted, include richly drawn characters and have deliciously unexpected conclusions. They feature the mad, the bad and the dangerous to know as well as some more poignant and telling characters. Many of these stories came to Archer while he was incarcerated for two years in five different prisons, and so they have a prison theme. Others were inspired since he was released, but all in all they confirm his position as one of the best storytellers alive today. 'Stylish, witty and constantly entertaining ...Jeffrey Archer has a natural aptitude for short stories.' - "The Times".

Judas, el discípulo que traicionó a Jesús con un beso a cambio de treinta monedas de plata, experimentará un cambio de imagen de la mano de un hombre que sabe más de esos cambios que la mayoría. El libro es un relato y una justificación de la vida de Judas y de cómo traicionó a Jesucristo, escrito en el estilo de uno de los tres evangelios sinópticos por un hipotético hijo, Benjamín. Fuentes de las altas esferas católicas de Inglaterra declararon a The Times: “Es un relato maravilloso acerca del perdón y la misericordia vistos a través de los ojos de alguien que nunca creyó que Jesús fuera Dios. Moloney ha combinado los cuatro evangelios en uno. Aunque sólo la mitad de los lectores de Jeffrey Archer compren el libro, millones de personas leerán el evangelio por vez primera”.
