DEPARTMENT ECHO: A CJ Hawk - FBI Thriller (CJ Hawk - FBI Thrillers)

By F.X. Regan

Ryan Steck - The Real Book Spy and Best Selling Author says: " Packed with authenticity and realism, DEPARTMENT ECHO, written by an a former FBI agent who knows that world inside and out, is the must-read FBI thriller you don't want to miss!" DEPARTMENT ECHO finds Hawk as the first police officer on the scene in 1984 when Dr. David Richards is assassinated answering the door to his Old Town Alexandria, Virginia townhouse late at night. Despite the fact his estranged spouse was seeking custody of their children who lived with him, there was little evidence, and the case went cold for years. By 1990 Hawk has joined the FBI and was in command of an SWAT team when a bank robbery takedown went tragically wrong resulting in the death of a fellow agent. He finds himself "removed from the rolls of the Bureau," and working boring cases as a Private Investigator. Hawk is then unexpectedly retained by a prominent attorney to solve the Dr. Richards murder once and for all, although who the client is remains a mystery. His investigation spirals in directions Hawk never saw coming. His sometimes girlfriend Kori West married a flawed attorney on the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee. A sketchy K Street lobbying firm with ties to members of Congress and Iranian Intelligence is uncovered. Most challenging, Hawk trips into a rogue Department of Defense (DoD) intelligence office codenamed Department Echo that operates in the Black. Officially, it doesn't exist - it's off the books. And then these scenarios collide in a powerful ending that delivers justice all that deserve it - except maybe Hawk. Inspired by an actual assassination in Old Town Alexandria in 1984, DEPARTMENT ECHO will keep you turning the pages until all hours of the night.
