Rankin, Ian. Witch hunt. New York: Little, Brown and Company, 1993. ISBN 0-316-00910-5.

Summary: A terrorist assassin plans to disrupt a summit meeting of heads of state in London. Some spy-catchers in Military Intelligence and some police in the Special Branch of Scotland Yard track her down, infer her motives, and race to frustrate her plot.

Engaging, but not profound. There was one instance of spectacularly bad word choice: At one point, the authorities discover a scrap of newspaper on which the assassin has circled a telephone number. The author phrases their discovery thus: “The telephone number was ringed.”
