Harry Clifton grew up in the 1920's Bristol docks, believing himself to be the son of a war hero. Archer's Clifton Chronicles begin with a buried truth and build on it across these three novels - spanning two families, two world wars, and a question of inheritance. The plotting is meticulous and the storytelling propulsive. Once started, this saga proves genuinely difficult to abandon.
