Blood Storm - Couverture rigide

Three men plot to convert Britain into Police State GB. 'Anyone who disagrees with Government is a social saboteur…' So speaks Nelson Macomber, one of three junior ministers. All are brothers, known as The Cabal, including Benton and Noel.
Tweed and Paula of the SIS are battling to stop the merger of SIS, M5, the police, the Coastguards, etc., into one massive unit - the sinister State Security. The Cabal has convinced nearly half the Cabinet.
Then Tweed is asked by Commander Buchanan to investigate the horrific murder of society beauty, Viola Vander-Browne. As he struggles to identify the murderer, he is faced with another horrific murder of Viola's twin sister, the raunchy Marina.
Two women play important parts - senior Civil Servant, The Parrot (she never stops talking), and her assistant, Coral Flenton. Both assist The Cabal. Both hate each other.
Once ace detective at Scotland Yard, Tweed tracks the killer of the sisters with one hand: with the other he ruthlessly opposes the formation of State Security. Summoned urgently abroad by secret agent Philip Cardon, he travels to Aix-en-Provence. Fifty Slovak bandits have been trained to speak English as the elite corps of State Security. Can they be destroyed before being smuggled into Britain by the Cabal?
Tweed and Paula race back to London. 'Blood Storm' is explained to them by top pathologist, Professor Saafeld. He warns the murderer will strike again, within days. Tweed has, from early on, insisted there is a link between the murders and creation of State Security. Unable to identify the killer, he attempts to identify the next victim. Paula disagrees with his choice and goes her own way. Will the third victim be saved in time? Will State Security be crushed? The desperate pace continues to the explosive climax.

'Anyone who disagrees with the Government is a social saboteur . . .'
Three junior Cabinet Ministers, the Macomber brothers, are plotting to covert Britain into a Police State GB. In secret circles they are known as The Cabal. They have persuaded almost half the Cabinet to support the conspiracy.
Fighting to stop the creation of the sinister State Security are Tweed and Paula Grey of the SIS. Added to this massive task, Tweed is asked by his old friend, Commander Buchanan of the Yard, to investigate the horrific murders of society beauty Viola Vander-Browne and her raunchy sister, Marina.
With one hand Tweed tracks the killer of the sisters. With the other, he ruthlessly sabotages The Cabal. From early on, Tweed has suspected there is a link between the two murders and The Cabal's conspiracy.
Unable to identify the killer, he sets about identifying the next victim. Disagreeing with him, Paula goes her own way. The Parrot (so nicknamed because she talks so much) is the senior Civil Servant who attends the Cabal. Her assistant is the attractive Coral Flenton. Are they the key?
Will the third victim of the killer be saved in time? Will State Security be crushed? Tweed and Paula race to solve both 'crimes'. Are they now too late?
