About this audiobook
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” (read by Patrick Macnee). In a better neighborhood, a famous London auction house is scammed in “The Art of the Matter” (also read by Macnee). The additional stories recount a persecution in 16th century Sienna (“The Miracle”—read by Christopher Cazenove), a mid-flight drug smuggling heist (“The Citizen”—also read by Macnee), and the lone survivor of Custer's Last Stand (“Whispering Wind”—read by Bruce Boxleitner). Mixing together the elements of great suspense—revenge, mystery, murder and deception—this collection is Forsyth at his best.
Frederick Forsyth
Frederick Forsyth (b. 1938) is an English author of thrillers. Born in Kent, he joined the Royal Air Force in 1956, becoming one of the youngest pilots to ever fly in Her Majesty’s service. After two years in the RAF, he began working as a journalist. He later turned his journalism skills to writing fiction, and his first novel, The Day of the Jackal (1970), was a great success. Forsyth continued to use real figures and criminal organizations as inspiration, writing popular books like The Odessa File (1972) and The Dogs of War (1974). His most recent novel is The Cobra (2010).
