Only under his pseudonym is he recognized as the Marcus Welby of the barnyard and the author of four bestsellers about an amiable animal doctor named James Herriot.

Grieving over the death of his grandfather at the hands of the Greek junta, Mikali efficiently assassinates the colonel responsible and discovers that he has a genuine aptitude for this kind of work. He also...
