'COLIN FORBES HAS NO EQUAL AT THIS SORT OF THING' SUNDAY MIRROR

Who is Janus - the man who looks both East and West?

When a top British agent is murdered in Hamburg, spymaster Tweed is desperate to know why his man was killed - and who he should target for revenge.

The investigation quickly leads Tweed to a devastating conclusion - one of his four European sector chiefs is a traitor.

Tweed's terrible problem is that he does not know which one.

With time running out, Tweed realises he may also be tracking a mass murderer - and that an appalling scandal in London will break if he does not find the killer.

And then, from East Germany, behind the Iron Curtain, the order goes out - Kill Tweed...

The Janus Man is the fourth book in the Tweed & Co. series and is a gripping, true-to-life thriller from a master of the genre. Readers of Ken Follett, John le Carré, Charles Cumming and Tom Bradby will love this epic novel.
