TIMEBOMB

A long-forgotten threat becomes a deadly new danger. What should have been a routine arrest near Geneva turns into a bloody shoot-out leaving four terrorists and four policeman dead, and Paul Richter on the run from a murder charge. Back in the UK, a tramp is viciously murdered on the Isle of Sheppey. Then a surveillance operation in Stuttgart goes badly wrong when a mole tips off the terrorists. As Richter hunts for the connection between these widely separated events, he discovers a chilling plot: to use the world’s largest ever non-nuclear explosion to devastate the City of London and leave thousands dead.
