The Committee

'Standing in windswept isolation on the Sussex Downs was Britain's best-known criminal lunatic asylum. 600 men and women whose names sent a shudder down every spine: poisoners, bombers, axe-men, stranglers, child killers...' Their contamination by a lethal dose of atomic radiation is only the beginning of the most bizarre and terrifying extortion case of the century - a case that leads Donald Seaman's redoubtable agent, Sydenham, half way across the world in search of The Committee. 'Horrifyingly plausible' - The Times 'Fiendish ... something for everybody' - The Guardian 'Crashes into a shuddering and powerful climax' - Publishers Weekly
