Timebomb cover

A gripping, deadly thriller from 'a brilliant storyteller'

Russian Bomb

Dismissed from a top secret Soviet nuclear base in the last days of communism, a KGB Major steals a suitcase bomb and buries it in his backyard. Sixteen years later he's going to sell it - to the highest bidder.

British Agent

The only man standing between the world and Armageddon is an undercover police officer who has infiltrated the criminal gang acting as middlemen, and an MI6 team trailing him across Europe.

Deadly Mix

But can his loyalties be trusted? Whose side is he really on? If he fails, and the bomb gets through, the damage would be incalculable. The back-up team must find their man at all costs and protect him - from himself...

A long, distinguished career as an ITV war reporter gives Seymour's books absolute authenticity. He knows how the nuts and bolts of undercover surveillance and terrorism work. * Guardian *
Intricately crafted and clocklike in its controlled release of psychological and geopolitical tension. * Kirkus Reviews *
[An] excellent, multi-layered novel . . . The thrills and action in this fascinating cloak and dagger story pile on and the author keeps the suspense of what will happen almost until the last page. * Eurocrime *
