A mystery with an unusual twist!

And a very unlikely villain, which is apparent in the closing chapters! British secret agents Tweed, Paula Grey and Bob Newman investigate a string of murders brought to their attention by a reporter on the run. Then a massacre takes place in a mansion in Cornwall, Tweed's headquarters is firebombed and the agents are on their own, even the Prime Minister won't sanction a mission to track down the perpetrators. Who is behind all of this? The action and story move from the UK to Switzerland, France and the White House, where a power struggle with a corrupt right-wing President is under way in a deadly sense. Then Even Amberg, widow of a Swiss banker killed in the Cornwall massacre, and high-class prostitute Jennie Blade appear on the scene, who have connections with a leading industrialist. What is his part in the Washington power struggle and the aftorementioned murders? This thriller weaves its way through some unexpected twists and turns very typical of Brit writer Colin Forbes, the locations add to the interest and overall, it is a satisfyingly original storyline with an easy-to-read narrative. Highly recommended.
