  • "Five stories: The Veteran -- The Art of the matter -- The Miracle -- The Citizen -- Whispering Wind."@en
  • "Forsyth, The Master Storyteller, Presents Five Brilliantly Ingenious Tales of Murder, Justice, Intrigue and Revenge A miracle in war-torn Siena that begins with the persecution of a young nun in the turbulent days of the sixteenth century and culminates in the bitter German retreat from Italy; a drug-smuggling heist on an international flight where the knock are only one step ahead of the smugglers; a ruthless urban murder, where a brilliant QC decides to defend the killers, resulting in a startling act of justice; an incandescent art scam at a famous London auction house, and a brilliantly plotted revenge that shatters the elegant world of Old Masters - each story is a remarkable tour de force. And above all here is a brilliant novella, 'Whispering Wind', which begins with the single survivor of Custer's Last Stand at the battle of Little Big Horn. It follows the defense from rape and murder of a Cheyenne girl and a flight across the mountains and forests of the West, ending in a savage present-day manhunt in the wild lands of Montana. Whether his theme is international espionage, miraculous events in war-torn Italy or a Customs drug bust, these stories all share Forsyth's trademark for compulsive storytelling, his clinical eye for authentic detail and an unnerving sense of suspense. Not since his New York Times bestselling story collection No Comebacks has he crafted such remarkable work. Five breathtaking tales from the greatest storyteller of them all."@en
  • "The Veteran is a riveting experience in crime, heroism, and the kind of mano-amano duels-and surprising twists of fate-that are the hallmark of Frederick Forsyth at his very best."
  • "Detective Inspector Jack Burns wants to punish two thugs responsible for a vicious beating at a housing estate in northeast London. He painstakingly builds his case against them, only to came up against a clever barrister, who has for some reason taken the case against him for very little money."
  • "Bundel met vijf min of meer fantastische vertellingen."
  • "The five stories that comprise this collection move from London to Siena, from World War Two to the Battle of the Little Big Horn, embracing customs and excise drug apprehension, espionage and miraculous events in war-torn Italy."
  • "A collection of five suspenseful stories. Justice does not always come easily, and it comes in many guises. On the seedier side of London, a shopkeeper witnesses a brutal beating in The Veteran. In a better neighborhood, a famous London auction house is scammed in The Art of the Matter. Other stories venture to a persecution in 16th century Sienna, a mid-flight drug smuggling heist, and the lone survivor of Custer's Last Stand."@en
