The best Colin Forbes ever
If only his newer books were as good as this masterpiece of action and suspense. Why did Keith Martel never make it into any of Colin Forbes' other books, which would have saved us from the pain of Robert Newman, Foreign Correspondent and know it all. I wish Forbes could return to such quality and save us from his current tedium.

Decent Spy Thriller
Very much a "who is the double spy" thriller. Set in mainly in Germany this thriller has a neo-nazi group attempting to gain power in Bavaria. However, they do so through ruthless violence. In the meantime 4 western leader prepare to meet about this problem and their 4 security heads prepare the meeting. However, one of them is a traitor for the neo-nazis but which one?

Some nice twists and turns, decent enough characters and generally an enjoyable read. Not a masterpiece but I've read worse.

This was my first Colin Forbes book and it did enough to make me reaad a second called "The Cauldron" which was unfortunatley pretty awful. I probably won''t bother with anymore of his work.

6/10 for "Double Jeopardy".
