After his father dies in a horrific and bizarre accident, or perhaps is murdered by the KGB, the lives of sixteen-year-old Alexander (Sasha) Karpenko and his mother are turned upside down. The gifted student and his remarkable cook of a mother must flee the Soviet Union and the Cold War.
At the port they face a choice: one ship is sailing to New York, the other to London. But it is not really a choice, it is a gamble, because they don't know which ship goes where. With the toss of a coin, Sasha makes his way to England while Alexander arrives in New York, and both lead eventful lives, discovering that wherever they go, they take themselves with them. Critics have called it Archer's most inventive and ambitious novel since Kane and Abel.
This is the Hebrew edition of Jeffrey Archer's Heads You Win, translated by Kinneret Higgins-Davidi.
