Operation Echo: A Detective Brook Deelman Mystery Kindle Edition

by Ed Church (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 82 ratings
Brook Deelman has left his police days in the past.

The past isn't always so keen to let go...

And when a certain ex-deputy commissioner doubts the backstory of a member of his London club, it's Brook's new detective agency he turns to.

Now, seven years after the events of Non-Suspicious, Brook Deelman and some old friends must dig into the past once again – answers lurking in a Cold War era of secrets and shadows, patriots and traitors...

The truth is always out there somewhere.

But finding it could be the very last thing you do.

Someone is targeting British war veterans. Homicide can’t see anything suspicious. In fact, the only person asking questions is a jaded Met detective with breakfast beers on his mind. Shame for the killer… Even on a career break, trouble finds DC Brook Deelman. Trouble leading to a decades-old mystery that some police officers, past and present, will stop at nothing to keep buried... They say the Kosovo War ended in ’99 – but not for some. Five years on, a Royal Military Policeman is sent to investigate bloody revenge riots. What Corporal ‘Jonboy’ Davies uncovers is far more shocking. A UN worker intent on revolution, a serial killer bent on revenge, and one increasingly disillusioned Met detective. All three are on a collision course in London. Even if they don’t know it yet...

Originally from Birmingham, Ed Church studied languages at Edinburgh University before training as a journalist and writing for the Press Association’s International Sport desk. In 2005 he joined the Metropolitan Police, going on to serve ten years in London as both a uniformed officer and detective.

After leaving the police, Ed began writing during tea breaks while renovating houses, soon discovering he preferred writing to renovating. When he swapped dry land for life on a narrowboat, the notebooks came with him, eventually becoming his debut novel, “Non-Suspicious”.

The Brook Deelman series is characterised by dual timelines, multiple POVs, and themes such as deception, justice, and fate.

There is also a lot of beer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dripping with suspense!

    Another epic installment in the Brook Deelman series! I was thrilled to see the return of two of the most memorable characters from Non-Suspicious in Operation Echo, which sees the slightly older but still charmingly wry and self-deprecating Brook team up with his lovable sidekick Jonboy to investigate the shady past of a member of an elite London club. The book is dripping with suspense that intensifies with every twist and turn of the plot and leads to a deeply satisfying ending. I finished it with my heart pounding!

    For those who have missed Ed Church's previous books in the series, I would highly recommend reading them. Each story is so brilliantly original, and the author knows how to captivate the reader with intricate plots and superb characters. For those of you who have read the previous books… you're in for a treat with Operation Echo. Absolutely brilliant storytelling.
