Book Summary of The Sins of the Father
New
York, 1939. Tom Bradshaw is arrested for first degree murder. He stands
accused of killing his brother. When Sefton Jelks, a top Manhattan
lawyer, offers his services for nothing, penniless Tom has little choice
but to accept his assurance of a lighter sentence. After Tom is tried,
found guilty and sentenced, Jelks disappears, and the only way for him
to prove his innocence would be to reveal his true identity – something
that he has sworn never to do in order to protect the woman he loves.
Meanwhile, the young woman in question travels to New York, leaving
their son behind in England, having decided she'll do whatever it takes
to find the man she was to marry – unwilling to believe that he died at
sea. The only proof she has is a letter. A letter that has remained
unopened on a mantelpiece in Bristol for over a year. In Jeffrey
Archer's epic novel, family loyalties are stretched to their limits as
secrets unravel, and the story moves from the backstreets of Bristol to
the boardrooms of Manhattan.
