Product Description

Product Description
"Adam Procane has to be stopped..." It was the last message his wife ever sent, and even as he read it, foreign correspondent Bob Newman knew she was dead. The killers had sent a film of her murder to London with the warning - tell other people to keep away from Procane...Procane, a top Washington official, is about to defect. With the Presidential election two months away, it's the last thing the Americans want. Trouble is, until they know exactly who he is, they can do nothing to stop him. In London, Tweed of SIS watches and waits. Four highly suspect Americans have already passed through en route to Scandinavia - the Deputy Head of the CIA, the National Security Adviser and his wife, and the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces. Any one of them could be Procane. Meanwhile Newman has slipped off to Finland, bent on revenge. It's time for Tweed to act. To get back into the field. To stop Newman and find Procane - before he - or she- takes vital secrets to the East...

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written book with an unexpected ending, 1 Aug 2000
I'm a bit of a Colin Forbes fan, but this is the best that I've read so far. You can clearly tell that he has researched this book well, and the story is strong and gripping. Never expected the ending!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting period piece, not a great thriller, 3 Aug 2008
"Cover Story" was written in the mid-1980s and is set in Finland, Estonia and Sweden. It's an interesting period piece, but not a very good thriller. It moves slowly and there's very little suspense, but it gves an interesting view of the Scandinavian and Baltic countries during the Cold War. Recommended mostly to those interested in this part of history, not so much recommended to those looking for a page turner. 2,5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Cover Story - Fantastic!, 23 May 2007
By Fiona Hardie - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read many of Colin Forbes' books over the last few years, but Cover Story has to be the best so far. A very well researched book in terms of location and knowledge, plenty of characters to wonder about and a great twist at the end.

If you only ever buy one Colin Forbes book, Cover Story has to be it!

This would make an excellent movie thriller if the right actors were cast against each character.

I have at least six others I have not read yet, and my eventual aim is to have every book he wrote. His style of writing grips you from the first page,and you just cannot put the book down - many late nights creeping into early mornings spent reading, especially when you are perhaps 100-200 pages from the end!
