1960’s Set Thriller Series

Pleasing all those who love a good thriller, and especially those whose remember the ‘good old days’ of the 1960s, R F Moore’s fourth outing of his amiable DC John Keane is a page turner with treachery and patriotism at its heart.

An easy and entertaining read, DC John Keane’s loyal followers will be hoping that case number five for this engaging copper isn’t too long in the coming.

Something Special

In the early 1960s John Keane is a young Detective Constable seconded to Q5, a shadowy section of London’s Met.

He is assigned to work with Inspector Harries, a ruthless Q5 officer, who is investigating some treacherous activities by certain members of the British Establishment.

Q5 are convinced that a Government department is the key to this web of intrigue. A former employee was about to supply evidence of the treachery, but dies unexpectedly just as Q5’s investigation is starting.

In the grim and murky world of intelligence activities, trust is a fragile commodity and Keane learns that truth is not always a matter of cold facts. As the case progresses, it becomes clear that actions seen as patriotism by one person are regarded as treachery by another.
