The veteran

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.

  • "The five stories that comprise this collection move from London to Siena, from World War II to the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Whether his theme is international espionage, miraculous events in war-torn Italy or a customs and excise drugs bust, these tales all have one thing in common - Forsyth's compulsive story telling, his clinical eye for authentic detail, and unnerving suspense."@en
