From Library Journal:
When a journalist stumbles upon a defection story, a vicious warning is sent to British intelligence and shown to her husband. He is Bob Newman, the resourceful foreign correspondent first introduced in last year's Terminal. He sets out for Scandinavia determined to avenge his wife's death. His single clue meshes imperfectly with a much larger plan to monitor the defector, supervised by another figure from Terminal, the plump investigator Tweed. Newman's clever forays upset Tweed's delicate strategies, creating an involuted double tale of exacting suspense. With his draftsman's eye for precise detail, Forbes enlivens the espionage with a veritable Michelin guide to Helsinki and Tallinn. Once again Forbes has produced an agreeably complicated tale for fans of the shadowy world of wily spies. Barbara Conaty, Medical Coll. of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
