Cometh the Hour by Jeffrey Archer is the sixth novel from the set of seven books written under the title of The Clifton Chronicles. First published in 2011, the series revolves around the life of Harry Clifton and people associated with him. While the first novel, Only Time Will Tell, talks about his life from 1920 to 1940. Cometh the Hour is all about family fortunes, struggles, political drama, love affairs and business mishaps. Framed around four main characters, the book begins with a suicide note; this suicide note will have serious consequences on the lives of Giles Barrington, Harry Clifton, Lady Virginia and Emma Clifton. The plot revolves around all the four main characters; each character in the story is entwined in his or her life’s challenges, continuously searching for a way out. Sir Giles is still confused over whether to give up politics or not and to liberate Karin, his lady-love. However, the big question here is does Karin love Giles too or she is just a spy. On the other hand, Lady Virginia, Sir Giles's ex-wife, is becoming desperate as she has been financially starved by her father and is now likely to face bankruptcy. Looking for a way out, she acquaints with ill-fated Cyrus T. Grant. Will this meeting bring some damn consequences that will change Lady Virginia’s life forever? Sebastian Clifton, son of Emma and Harry, is Farthings Bank’s Chief Executive. A workaholic by nature, his messy life gets another blow when he begins loving a beautiful girl from India, named Priya. But, Priya’s parents have made up their mind about marrying her off to some guy of their choice already. On the other side, Sebastian's rivals and Desmond and Adrian are manoeuvring over a plot to knock him down along with Hakim Bishara in order to take control of the bank.
