About

In 1992, after being fired from a top-secret nuclear facility, a top KGB man buried a dirty bomb. Sixteen years later he has found a buyer for it. Traveling with the buyer is an undercover policeman, working for MI6. But as their shadowy journey begins, it becomes clear to a top psychiatrist that their man may be suffering from Stockholm syndrome and the whole operation is very likely to be thrown into jeopardy. Displaying a fast-paced narrative and an in-depth knowledge of international politics, Timebomb is a racing thriller to keep you reading late into the night.

Reviews

"…the best thriller writer in the world…"
The Daily Telegraph
"Seymour, who is classed with espionage luminaries like Ambler and le Carré, has crafted a convoluted plot and a host of complex and exquisitely tormented characters, but it's his focus on human frailty that makes Timebomb a winner."
Booklist
"Seymour shifts focus among his large cast with a nimbleness that heightens suspense, sustains interest and creates a rooter's sympathy for (or at least an understanding of) even the most violent characters . . . To the author's aesthetic credit, Timebomb ticks to a satisfying if ambiguous conclusion."
The Wall Street Journal
