Heads You Win is international #1 bestseller Jeffrey Archer’s most ambitious and creative work since Kane and Abel, with a final twist that will shock even his most ardent of fans.

Leningrad, Russia, 1968: From an early age it is clear that Alexander Karpenko is destined to lead his countrymen. But when his father is assassinated by the KGB for defying the state, Alexander and his mother will have to escape Russia if they hope to survive. At the docks, they have an irreversible choice: board a container ship bound for America or one bound for Great Britain. Alexander leaves the choice to a toss of a coin…

In a single moment, a double twist decides Alexander’s future. During an epic tale, spanning two continents and thirty years, we follow Alexander through triumph and defeat as he sets out on parallel lives as Alex in New York and Sasha in London. As this unique story unfolds, both come to realize that to find their destiny they must face the past they left behind as Alexander in Russia.

What the critics say

"Expertly performed by Richard Armitage...Captivating to the very end." -Midwest Book Review

This is a very unique storyline that might be a bit confusing to some listeners at first. One gets to understand that the plot involves the same protagonist going in two very different directions. It is really a brilliantly different storyline narrated by the very brilliant Richard Armitage.

Brilliant

I found it a little difficult initially to follow the 2 lives led by Alex and really the point of it all. I still enjoyed it overall.

As many others have mentioned it's not Jeffrey Archer's usual quality. I was skeptical as I am not a fussy reader but it was a difficult format to follow and also a unique way to end a story. However that being said it is typical of the character who Vladimir is.....

I have been reading Jeffrey Archer since Not a Penny More. It was a great read and I have continued to pick up his books for the last 40 years. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every moment of this creation and I did not see the ending coming! So typical of Jeffrey! If you are travelling on a long ride, this great book is almost 16 hours long! Such a great value from Audible.

And of course, there is the wonderful narration by Richard Armitage who is absolutely fabulous! He brings so much life to the various characters of this story, and I honestly have no idea how he kept track of all the personalities but it was great. I will be looking to see what other books he has narrated.

If you are on the fence about this book, don't be. You will really enjoy it!

Jeffrey Archer never dissapoints

Absolutely loved this book and especially loved Richard Armitage’s performance. I am looking forward to listening to more of Richard’s performances and many more books.

Such a unique concept for a story
