Deadlock - Colin Forbes

It should have been a tranquil, if unwelcome holdiay for Tweed.  But 6 fresh graves in an isolated Norfolk church yard mark the start of one of the deadliest manhunts ever undertaken.

A Russian master planner has gone missing.  He hasn't defected.  He 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 under-cover agent, and Paula Grey, his assistant, Tweed must locate the Soviet renegade before the crises becomes a holocaust.  The final confrontation will be one of the most terrifying they have ever faced.
