'SUPERB... COLIN FORBES HAS NO EQUAL AT THIS SORT OF THING' SUNDAY MIRROR A journalist is brutally murdered and a video of her killing is sent to London by Soviet Intelligence with a warning - tell other people to keep away from Procane... Intelligence agencies are convinced that Adam Procane, a top Washington official, is about to defect. But the Presidential election is only two months away and it's the last thing the Americans want. Trouble is, no one knows who Procane really is, so nothing can be done to stop him. In London, Tweed of SIS watches and waits. Four highly suspect Americans have already passed through London en route to Scandinavia - the Deputy Head of the CIA, the National Security Advisor and his wife, and the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces. Any one of them could be Procane. So it's time for Tweed to act. To get back into the field. To find Procane before the Soviets wreak havoc... Cover Story is the third in the Tweed & Co series of gripping and suspenseful spy thrillers - perfect for fans of John le Carr???, Ken Follett and Charles Cumming. PRAISE FOR COLIN FORBES: 'Utterly realistic and gripping action' Spectator 'A projectile of a thriller' New York Times 'Will keep the reader on the edge of his chair' Daily Telegraph 'Better than Alistair Maclean's suspense novels' Pasadena Star-News 'Suspense mounts swiftly, plenty of action and intrigue' American Publishers Weekly 'Out-Alistairs Maclean' New York Times

Seller's Description:
Dispatched, from the UK, within 48 hours of ordering. Though second-hand, the book is still in very good shape. Minimal signs of usage may include very minor creasing on the cover or on the spine. Aged book. Tanned pages and age spots, however, this will not interfere with reading.
When a book begins with a man watching a film of his wife being brutally murdered, I?m hooked. The film, sent to MI6 from the KGB, came with the warning not to try and stop Adam Procane. When International foreign correspondent, Bob Newman, receives a letter from his wife, Alexis, written on the day of her death, she writes that Adam Procane must be stopped. With nothing but the name of a hotel, the mention of a boat?s departure time, and the image of a castle in the film, he sets off to catch her killers. Enter Tweed of the British Intelligence Service, who knows it?s rumored that Procane is a top U.S. security official defecting to Russia before the 1984 presidential election. As Newman draws nearer to those responsible for his wife?s death, and several top U.S. officials vacation in Europe at the same time, Tweed has his hands full, traveling from country to country after Newman, dealing with the Director of the CIA, and trying to stop Procane, whoever he is, from crossing from Scandinavia into Russia. The action never stops. Cover Story is my first book by Colin Forbes and I look forward to reading others. For fans of espionage, murder and suspense thrillers, this is a book for them.
