DEADLOCK by Colin Forbes

It should have been a tranquil, if unwelcome, holiday for Tweed.  But six fresh graves in an isolated Norfolk church yard mark the start of one of the deadliest manhunts ever undertaken.

A Russian masterplanner has gone missing.  He hasn't defected.  He has vanished - with enough explosive power to take out a great city, leaving no survivors.  Now the Soviets, appalled that detente may be destroyed, are asking Tweed to track him down.

Somewhere in Europe, a ruthless cold-blooded killer is moving towards his unknown target, a near-genius for whom 'terror is the ultimate weapon'.  He has planned a brutal act of violence which will bring Europe to its knees.

With Bob Newman, foreign correspondent turned undercover agent, and Paula Grey, his assistant, Tweed must locate the Soviet renegade before the crisis becomes holocaust.  The final confrontation will be one the most terrifying they have ever faced.\

Soft cover, fairly good condition.  The cover has some spotting and scuffing.  507 pages.
