Tweed and Co is a 24-book spy thriller series by British author Colin Forbes, running from 1982 to 2006. The series centres on Robert Tweed, deputy director of British intelligence’s SIS, and his core team. The books are set across European locations including Germany, Switzerland, and the UK, and are characteristic of the post-Cold War British thriller genre: plot-driven, geopolitically aware, and action-forward. Forbes published regularly throughout the series’ run, with an output of roughly one book per year.

The series begins with Double Jeopardy (1982) and ends with The Savage Gorge (2006), covering over twenty years of publication and the shift from Cold War to post-Cold War thriller settings. Later books in the series, such as No Mercy (2003) and Blood Storm (2004), reflect the changed geopolitical landscape of the early 2000s. For readers interested in classic British spy fiction and European thriller settings, Tweed and Co is a substantial and consistently plotted series.
