About The Theseus Paradox: The Stunning Breakthrough

Review "Astoundingly accomplished and pacey. Real-life police experience and know-how shine through on every page without it ever slowing the pace of the drama. The scenario he paints is a vivid and realistic one. Possibly too realistic!" Editor at Hodder & Stoughton"A very exciting proposition indeed. The concept behind this book will make headlines." Editor at Hachette"Subtle conspiracy, professionally written, credible and above all - intriguing. The desire to find out the truth will drive interest alone. Incredibly strong stuff." Editor at Harper Collins"I adored the lead character, DI Jake Flannagan. He is one of a kind. I would class this novel in the same arena as the blockbusting best seller 'Bravo Two Zero' by Andy McNab - but for the fact that 'The Theseus Paradox' is far better written!" Editor at Penguin"We're into the action immediately and there's a great sense of authenticity and control in David's storytelling. The plot revelations in this book are all too possible. The whole tale is just far too chillingly credible!" Agent at one of the UK's big five literary agencies"Finished this at 6.00am this morning having thoroughly enjoyed it! Eloquent and adeptly argued, with an utterly thrilling conclusion. It leaves the reader hungry to research whether they believe this version of events!" Former Mail-on-Sunday journalist"An explosive finale with dialogue that has that rare ring of authenticity to it. Brilliant stuff that smacks you in the face!" Editor at one of the world's top three news agencies --Editor reviewsThe Theseus Paradox is an expertly written crime novel. Videcette has done justice to a very sensitive subject...The Theseus Paradox is a wonderfully written story. I was not expecting what Jake uncovered during his investigation and this is what made me love the book even more! I gave The Theseus Paradox 5 Stars on Goodreads as it was a unique read for me and they don't come around very often! --Bibliophile Book Club Product Description July 2005: in the midst of Operation Theseus, the largest police investigation that the UK has ever known, Detective Inspector Jake Flannagan begins to ask difficult questions that lead to the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend.Who masterminded London's summer of terror?Why can’t Flannagan make headway in the sprawling investigation?Is Jake’s absent girlfriend really who she claims to be?While hunting for the answers to the most complex case in British history, one man will uncover the greatest criminal deception of our time.The author, David Videcette, is a former Scotland Yard Detective who has worked on a wealth of famous cases, including the July 2005 London bombings.

Reviews: 'A chillingly credible tale based on real events.''A five-star, explosive finale.''Leaves the reader hungry to research this version of events!''This fictional theory holds a lot of water - do not miss!''Astoundingly accomplished and pacey.' 'A powerhouse of a fact-fiction mash-up.''Brilliant stuff that smacks you in the face!' From the Author I went out to work on 7 July 2005, and came home two weeks later wearing the same clothes and with fifty-six people dead.The quest for the truth about the London bombings took years to unravel. Thousands of men and women played their parts in helping to unravel that truth, some of which was presented to a coroner's inquest. Yet, despite years and years of painstaking work, I still feel that we only ever scratched the surface of what really went on.I was not a victim of the bombings, but in many ways, my life was altered forever by that day
