Synopsis

'SUPERB... COLIN FORBES HAS NO EQUAL AT THIS SORT OF THING' SUNDAY MIRROR

A terrible secret lurks within an exclusive Swiss Clinic...

When news reporter Bob Newman gets a tip-off about a mysterious package smuggled across an eastern border, it's yet another link in a chain of sinister incidents that have one thing in common - they are all connected with the Berne Clinic and something called Terminal.

But what is Terminal? And why is Tweed of the British Secret Intelligence Service so desperate to find out?

An ex-CIA hitman arrives in Switzerland and the mystery of the Berne Clinic deepens.

Why is it surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by Dobermans and the Swiss Army?

And why do the people who can answer these questions keep getting murdered?

Tweed and Newman will not rest until they know exactly what is happening. And together they make a formidable force...

Terminal - the second in the Tweed & Co series of thrillers - has all the hallmarks of Colin Forbes's terrifying and brilliant novels - the surprises and twists, the violence and the tension - and it is one of his very best.

À propos de l'auteur

Colin Forbes (1923-2006) was the principal pseudonym of British thriller writer Raymond Harold Sawkins. Sawkins wrote over 40 books, mostly as Colin Forbes. 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. His debut under his preferred pen name (Colin Forbes) came in 1969 with Tramp in Armour.
