Peter Ustinov
Monsieur René
As a retired and widowed hotelier, Monsieur René is suffering
from late life depression and finds he needs a new direction.
But René is invigorated by his new role as the Permanent President
of the International Brotherhood of Concierges and Hall Porters,
where he occupies a position of some prominence. Charged with
monitoring key players at the Swiss epicentre of world diplomacy,
he becomes involved in a master plan; to mount an espionage operation
to put half the world's police force to shame.

Graham Greene
The Honorary Consul
The gripping tragi-comedy of a bungled kidnapping in a provincial
Argentinean town tells the story of Charley Fortnum, the 'Honorary
Consul', a whisky-sodden figure of dubious authority, who is taken
by a group of revolutionaries. As Eduardo Plarr, a local doctor,
negotiates with revolutionaries and authorities for Fortnum's
release, the corruption of both becomes evident.

To Cut A Long Story Short
Within contains a collection of fourteen new short stories, and
all with that trademark twist in the tale. Witness love at first
sight across the train tracks, the cleverest of confidence tricks,
the quirks of the legal profession, and the creative financial
talents of a member of Her Majesty's diplomatic service. There's
a woman who only appears to her lover every six years, as well
as the story of the wealthy man who attempts to discover which
of his family and friends will support him in his time of need
- only to be shocked by the results.
