The Theseus Paradox (DI Jake Flannagan #1) by David Videcette

'I can't tell you the truth, but I can tell you a story...'

July 2005: in the midst of Operation Theseus, the largest terrorist investigation that the UK has ever known, Detective Inspector Jake Flanagan begins to ask difficult questions that lead to the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend and his sudden suspension from the Metropolitan Police.

Who masterminded London's summer of terror?
Why can't Jake make headway in the sprawling investigation?
Is his girlfriend really who she claims to be? Are the bombings the perfect ploy for a different plot entirely?

Terror, extremism, fear of the unknown, something the answer is much closer to home.

David Videcette is a former Scotland Yard investigator who has worked on a wealth of infamous cases, including the July 2005 London bombings. He has twenty years of policing experience, specialising in counter-terrorist operations and organised crime.
