Sinister Tide

Sinister Tide by Forbes, Colin. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780330480543.

The wave of the future confronts Tweed - carrying death for at least a hundred million people. With Paula Grey and Bob Newman, Tweed tracks the creator of the supreme weapon, Dr Goslar. Identity unknown - man or woman? The trail leads from the coast north of Dartmoor to London. Two mysterious women appear - Serena Cavendish, then Trudy Warner, just arrived from the US. Can Tweed trust either? Captain Alan Burgoyne, Gulf War veteran, joins Tweed`s team. The Yellow Man surfaces - the most savage assassin Tweed has ever encountered. The pursuit of Goslar moves to Paris. Tweed has many enemies - the French security services, a `non-existent` American unit, the rival British Special Brand - all determined to seize the weapon. From Paris, Tweed, always under threat, races to Geneva, on to Annecy. Goslar`s base is still unknown. He is close to delivering the weapon to the West`s mose fanatical opponent. Is Tweed too late? A crescendo climax explodes in remote snowbound mountains. For pace, for intriguing characters, Forbes has created his most atmospheric novel yet.
