No Comebacks

Deception, blackmail, murder, revenge are the themes of these ten stories that move from London to the coast of Spain, from Dublin to Dordogne. The title story tells of a successful businessman who can have anything he wants from life and yet is still bored. "A Careful Man" tells of a wealthy coin dealer who is dying of cancer but has no one he wants to leave his fortune to. In "Privilege" a businessman who has been libeled seeks redress and "Used in Evidence" is about a man who may - or may not - have killed his wife thirty years previously.
