Summary
Deception, blackmail, murder, revenge - these are themes of stories that move from London to the coast of Spain, from Mauritius to Dublin. Whether his subject is assassination by stealth, gun-smuggling or the cruel confidence trick Forsyth is never less than compulsive.
Here are eight stories with the Forsyth touch - a brilliant and original collection by an incomparable craftsman of suspense.

Classic short storys
I read these a lifetime ago and although a little dated stand the test of time. Highly recommended.

Workmanlike short stories
I think it fair to say that Frederick Forsyth does not shine in the short story genre. While remembered for the breathtaking twists and turns of his novels, the transition to the short form results in some highly predictable plots. Only one of the stories included ('Used in Evidence') was really memorable for me, though some of the others were fun to listen to. I particularly enjoyed the stories with Irish settings, though Nigel Davenport (whose narration is otherwise excellent) loses a star for his tone-deaf, Woganesque Irish accents. This audiobook appears to be abridged, missing one or two of the stories included in the print edition. Worth buying if it's included in a sale.

Thoroughly enjoyed stories.
A clear good versus evil stance. Entertaining and meticulously well crafted stories by fabulous Forsyth.

no comebacks, great stories
I read these stores years ago, and enjoyed them again with audible. they are perhaps showing their age a little now, and the surprise endings have been copied in many more novels but I enjoyed each one.

Always worth listening to. Can we have more from Mr Forsyth? His stories are well researched and elegantly written.

No comeback
Frederick Forsythe is a born storyteller, the yarns in this book we’re really good with the desired twist at the end of each. Very enjoyable
