Finding An Echo

By Jack Franks

London, present day, a dark cloud lingers in the sky. Detective Imogen Galbraith has it all: the perfect man, an enviable beauty and her dream job, all until she is reassigned to partner John Forrest, a violent man whom frontline policing has left deeply psychologically disturbed. As she begins to peel away at the mask of her colleague, she in turn unravels in ways that tear into her soul. Forrest and Galbraith explore a plethora of crimes, beginning with a lorry full of the dead through to a Machiavellian terrorist killing seemingly at random.Finding An Echo explores the themes of loss against friendship, self-harm juxtaposed with vanity, all painted into a backdrop of a brilliant realistic portrayal of modern policing. There is no gloss or pomp in this novel, and the reader is encouraged to question their own values through the author's detailed psychological analysis of his characters. "Beads of sweat ran across his leathery skin, as he sat, cooking under a barren sun. His heart no longer red was tinged a dark crimson, blackened but not yet black, immolated by time and experience. The melancholy Forrest was unable to see the end of his torment. His arms tucked into his body, he leant forward to get a closer glimpse of the gravelled tarmac. Straining to think positively, he tried to smile his way out of the despair. But the smile was false, his eyes gave it away, and one corner of his mouth soon subsided."About the author:Jack Franks is a serving detective, poet and author. He studied Law at Bristol University. This is his debut novel.
