About The Book:

Twelve Red Herrings is a captivating collection of short stories by the master storyteller Jeffrey Archer, now available in Marathi. Translated by Deodatt Ketkar, this anthology showcases Archer’s signature style—richly drawn characters, cleverly constructed plots, and ingenious twists that keep readers on the edge of their seats.

The stories span a wide range of intriguing scenarios: an imprisoned man believes his supposed murder victim is still alive, a female driver is relentlessly pursued by a menacing figure in another vehicle, and a young artist receives the biggest break of her career. There's also a restless beauty managing the perfect birthday celebration, and an Iraqi on Saddam Hussein's death list who unwittingly visits his homeland.

Each of the twelve tales in this collection ends with an unexpected turn of events, leaving readers both surprised and thoroughly entertained. Whether it's the clever red herrings or the unforgettable characters, Archer’s stories explore the human condition, offering both suspense and insight into how individuals react when faced with extraordinary circumstances.
