Synopsis
Colin Forbes, a master of the espionage thriller, presents 'By Stealth', a riveting narrative first published in 1992. This hardcover novel plunges readers into a world of covert operations and mounting dread across Europe, where initial disturbing incidents quickly escalate into a complex web of international intrigue.
The story begins to unravel with Paula Grey’s unsettling discovery following the disappearance of a boat and the tragic fate of its sole occupant. This early warning sign is swiftly overshadowed by a baffling kidnapping – the daughter of a global trends expert is taken, yet no ransom demand is made, deepening the mystery surrounding the perpetrator's motives.
Further heightening the tension, the plot thickens with the brutal murder of Hilary Vane, an individual arriving in London from Washington carrying critical data. These disparate events hint at a larger, more sinister scheme at play, demanding the attention of seasoned thriller enthusiasts.

- London Airport Assassination: The escalating threat culminates with the murder of Hilary Vane at London Airport, an individual bearing vital information from Washington, suggesting a deep-seated conspiracy at the heart of the unfolding drama.
This 1992 hardcover edition of 'By Stealth' stands as a compelling example of Colin Forbes's mastery in crafting intricate and suspenseful thrillers.
