    [synopsis] => From master storyteller Frederick Forsyth-best-selling author of The Day of the Jackal and The Odessa File-comes this collection of five suspenseful gems.

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.
