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)

Gripping story
I have to hand it to Mr Archer he can definitely tell a great story. If you enjoyed the Clifton Chronicles you'll enjoy this saga. It's a bit like a modern fairy tale where good people are thwarted at times by despicable ones but in the end triumph over adversity. I enjoyed the mixing of real people with fictional ones. The author uses his knowledge of the British parliament to add veracity to the UK arm of novel. The book alternates between the parallel stories of an Alex and a Sache in new lives in the US and UK after clandestinely escaping from Leningrad.
It was only after the confusion I felt hearing the final scenes, and listening to the last two chapters again, that I realized that it was a parallel what-if of story. I hope this is the start of a new series.
The narrator is superb adding to the sense of drama.

Jeffrey Archer at his best
Nice idea and wrapped up brilliantly at the end. Can see Jeffrey getting an invitation to the Kremlin any time soon!

Highly recommended, great story line although in places a bit predictable but does not detract from a great read.
