Frederick Forsyth 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 pit their wits against smugglers; a brutal urban murder, where a brilliant QC decides to defend the killers, resulting in a startling justice; an incandescent art scam at a famous London auction house, with 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 Little Big Horn and ends in a savage present-day manhunt in the wilds of Montana.
