| Plot Summary of Double Jeopardy |
|---|
"Excellent suspenser in which four world leaders are scheduled to travel by train from Paris to Vienna for a peace summit. Two evil organisations are out to hijack the train and destabilise Europe for the own right-wing and communist interests - who will get to the politicians first? It is up to British secret agents Martel and Tweed, in his first outing, to stop the threat."
