The Veteran

A miracle in war-torn Siena that begins with the persecution of a young nun in the turbulent days of the sixteenth century and culminates in the bitter German retreat from Italy; a drug smuggling heist on an international flight where the Knock pit their wits against the smugglers; a brutal urban murder, where a brilliant QC decides to defend the killers, resulting in a startling justice; an inacandescent art scam at a famous London auction house, with a brilliantly plotted revenge that shatters the elegant world of Old Masters-each story is remarkable tour de force.
