From the Back Cover
Adam Scott listens to the reading of his father's will, aware that the financial benefit can only be pitiful. The Colonel, after all, had nothing to leave – except a letter he had never opened himself, a letter Adam fears can only bring further disgrace to the family name.
Against his mother's wishes, Adam opens the letter, and immediately realises his life can never be the same again. The contents leave him with no choice but to follow a course his father would have described to him as 'A Matter of Honour'

this book restored my faith in reading. it has everything that you would want from a book. every page has a new thing happening. it;s mainly about a guy whose father dies and in his will leaves his son a letter that was the cause of his unrespectful death. he is not allowed to open but does anyway.the letter is written in german. in search of answers he comes across people who want what's in the letter. this book has everything. murder, adventure and most of all a thrilling chase.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Archer's A Matter of Honor is, I think, one of the best thrillers out there, and one of my most riveting reads. I has almost everything that makes a thriller a book not to put down -- from a rich plot full of intrigues, timely revelations and breath-taking suspense; to characters that are colorful, rugged, vicious, smart and daring; to a setting that is far-reaching, complex and fascinating. The encompassing nature of this story brings to mind the story of Gavin in Triple Agent Double Cross. If you are looking for a full thriller, one that has adventure, murder, integrity, values and love, A Matter of Honor is the book to read.

Format:Paperback
i have read all jeffrey archers including his latest sons of fortune. basically archer writes two kinds of novels -- one the bildungsroman like kane and abel, first among equals and as the crow flies, or else he writes edge of the seat thrillers like eleventh commandment. of course, being a bestselling novelist there arent sharp demarcations. this novel is of the second kind. it is one of the best thrillers that i've ever read. the protagonist is depicted in a manner that would do a nobel winning author proud. however, the depiction of the other characters leaves something to be desired. this along with the plot being slightly confusing at times led me to take away a star. if u like thrillers or if like me u cant sleep this is a must read. u wouldnt regret, and also u wouldnt know it is, morning by the time u have completed reading it.
