The Veteran
Author: Frederick Forsyth
Desc: On a grimy sidewalk in a defeated neighborhood an old man is beaten to death. When a cop investigates he finds two killers and a startling legacy of honor ... In a prestigious London art gallery an impoverished actor is swindled out of a fortune-until an eccentric appraiser hatches a delicious scheme for revenge... On an airplane high over war-torn Afghanistan a passenger sends a note to the plane's captain warning of suspicious behavior. But no one can guess who is really conspiring aboard the 747 or why... From the war-torn Italy to the Little Big Horn from soldiers of fortune to victims of fate The Veteran is a riveting experience in crime heroism and the kind of mano-a-mano duels-and surprising twists of fate-that are the hallmark of Frederick Forsyth at his very best.
