What if a single coin toss could split a man's life into two parallel destinies?

Heads You Win is Jeffrey Archer’s most ambitious and creative work since Kane and Abel. In Leningrad, 1968, young Alexander Karpenko flees the KGB after his father's assassination. At the docks, facing an irreversible choice, he flips a coin: heads for London, tails for New York.

In a brilliant narrative twist, the story splits, following both Alexanders simultaneously. Spanning two continents and thirty years, we witness one man living two parallel lives—one in Britain, one in America—navigating triumph, disaster, and love in both worlds. With a shocking final twist, Archer masterfully weaves these strands together, proving that while fortune may be decided by a coin, destiny is forged by the man.
