Yep. Just found out that the 1st Sweeney book was written in 1975, the 2nd in 1976 and the 3rd in 1977. You ought to check them out, 984rtgh. They're damn good reads.

75-6 sounds about right...
-
I can't find it either. That New York story was the 2nd Sweeney novel. In these Kennedy Martin stories, Regan and Carter were rivals with Carter trying to replace Regan as an Inspector.
I assume the SB novel would have come out in either 1975 or 1976.

I've looked around the net but can't find any reference to the Special Branch novel. I remember a tag on the rear cover for a Sweeney novel where Regan goes to New York, so it may well have been issued around about the same time as The Sweeney books and by the same publishers.

Haggerty also hated Strand, too. In one episode, he kept calling him a bastard and wished for him to get his comeuppance. He was very devious and manipulative, but Paul Eddington played him with charm.
I didn't know there was a novel. Sounds exciting. I've got 3 Sweeney novels by Ian Kennedy Martin. Very gritty and violent. Regan is more of a loner and he takes on the IRA, CIA and corrupt Middle Eastern officials.

Craven and Strand seem to have quite a cordial relationship in this... I seem to recall it as usually being quite different, with the sneering, supercillious Strand frequently rubbing the tough Special Branch officer up the wrong way. Any thoughts?
I read a Special Branch novel years ago where Craven and his men foil a plot to kill the US President on a visit to an airbase in East Anglia. Pretty good read, it was.

Sure was.

He was the top man at Nemesis!!

@dec222222 CI5AgentSweeps has got the entire set. He got it for a pretty cheap price, too. I only have series 3 & 4 as Euston Films produced them and they led to The Sweeney being made.
