Cover Story by Colin Forbes

'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...

He was most famous for his long-running series of thrillers in which the principal character is Tweed, Deputy Director of the Secret Intelligence Service. Forbes started out working as a sub-editor for a publishing company before serving with the British Army in North Africa and the Middle East during the Second World War. When he went back to civilian life, he worked for a publishing and print company, eventually becoming a novelist on a full-time basis. Forbes made his debut as a published author in 1966 using his real name of Raymond Sawkins for the novel Snow on High Ground.
