Whether his theme is international espionage, miraculous events in war-torn Italy or a Customs and Excise drugs bust these stories all have one thing in common -Forsyth's trademark of compulsive storytelling, his clinical eye for authentic detail and an unnerving sense of suspense. Frederick Forsyth remains the master of the unexpected twist in the tale.
