Nothing is what it seems in this thriller by one of England's most successful novelists. Former politician Jeffrey Archer's first book since his release from jail--he served two years for perjury--FALSE IMPRESSION twists real-life events into a whirlwind, international caper revolving around Van Gogh's 'Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear.' Dr. Anna Petrescu recently advised a client to sell her prized painting to cover her debt to her employer, Fenston Finance. The client, Lady Victoria Wentworth, is unfortunately murdered before she can finalize the transaction. The next day, after Anna gets terminated from her job for suggesting Lady Victoria sell the Van Gogh--her boss wanted it for his own--she rides the elevator down to the lobby of the World Trade Center as the September 11th attacks occur. Using the buildings' destruction as her cover, Anna slips away to England to help solve Victoria's killing which, she discovers, is related to the masterpiece. Not safe from anyone, Anna remains on the run. Her ex-boss knows something has gone awry, and Lady Victoria's killer follows Anna's every move.
