Timebomb - Softcover
In 1992, after being fired from a top secret nuclear facility, a top KGB man buried a nuclear suitcase. Sixteen years later he has found a buyer for it.
An exchange point in Eastern Europe is agreed upon. Travelling with the buyer is an undercover policeman, working for M16. But as their shadowy journey across Europe begins, it becomes clear to a top psychiatrist at M16, that their man may be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and the whole operation is very likely to be thrown into jeopardy.

About the Author:
Gerald Seymour was one of the UK's premier television news reporters. He was an eyewitness, up close and on the ground, to some of the epoch-changing events of the last decades. He was on the streets of Londonderry on Bloody Sunday when paratroops clashed with Irish demonstrators. He was at the Munich Olympics and saw the agony of Israeli athletes held hostage by Palestinian gunmen and then the catastrophic failure of the German police to save them. He was in Rome in the cruel days when the Red Brigade captured Aldo Moro, a veteran politician, then savagely murdered him. His first novel, Harry's Game, was an instant bestseller and immediately established Seymour as one of the most cutting-edge and incisive thriller writers in the UK and around the world. Since then, his extraordinary blend of breathtaking storytelling and current-events prescience has held his many readers in his spell.
Review:

"A richly imagined novel that bristles with authenticity . . . a realistic portrait of a side of Naples that tourists rarely see." --Washington Post
