A collection of ten short stories written by Frederic Forsyth, author of “Dogs of War”, “The Fourth Protocol” and “The Odessa File”. Deception, murder, blackmail, revenge – these are the themes of ten stories that move from London to the coast of Spain, from Dublin to Dordogne. 
 
          A rich philanderer plans to kill the husband of the woman he loves; a skillfully contrived piece with a savage twist in the tale. It is the title story in a marvellously exciting and varied collection by the author of The Day of the Jackal. To this, his first book of short stories, Forsyth brings the narrative power and the wealth of meticulous detail that have made his novels bestsellers around the world.
