The Cold War is over. But when two British agents die under mysterious and strangely old-fashioned circumstances in Germany, Bond is paired up with beautiful CIA agent 'Easy' St John. He's been assigned to track down the surviving members of 'Cabal', a Cold War-era intelligence network that received a mysterious and unauthorised signal to disband. It's not long before Bond and Easy find themselves playing a life-or-death game as they try to figure out who they can trust. All the while, Cabal agents are dying one by one . . . Death Is Forever is number twelve in John Gardner's gripping series of authorised Bond novels.
