The multi-million copy bestselling Frederick Forsyth is back on familiar ground. And for Forsyth that means murder, mystery, intrigue, deception and revenge. The five stories in this collection move from London to Siena, from the Second World War to the Battle of Little Big Horn. Whether his theme is international espionage, miraculous events in war-torn Italy or a Customs and Excise drugs bust, these stories all have one thing in common -they share Forsyth's trademark of compulsive storytelling, his clinical eye for authentic detail and an unnerving sense of suspense.
