THE CONSPIRACY-by Jack Probyn- Crime thriller                           

Jake has just joined MCU with his friend Danika from another force, both as

temporary detective constables. When a shout comes in for a robbery with

malice, Jake is called out and Danika left in the office finding information. To

Jake’s horror the robbery rings huge bells of a few years before when he was

taken hostage whilst in a bank and only the ring leader was caught. The

witness's descriptions tie up with his memories of a notorious gang in devil

masks. This time, having a new leader things are taking a different turn -

someone has been shot and there is a collar bomb device where only finding

the keys will release the victim. Can Jake and Danika and the team sort this

out before it's too late? I loved this and found myself racing through it- a

sure sign of a well written book with a tension throughout to find out more.

I liked Jake and his cheeky sense of humour and the twists and turns of the

story. His interactions with others which I can see will develop further in

the next in the series (which I very much look forward to).

A clever concept, wonderful characters and a gripping storyline.

The Conspiracy (DC Jake Tanner Crime Thriller #1) by Jack Probyn #TheConspiracy #DCJakeTanner @jackprobynbooks @damppebbles #damppebblesblogtours Book Blurb: Candice Strachan can’t breathe.  A small jewellers is raided in Guildford High Street and leaves police chasing their tails. Reports suggest that it's The Crimsons, an organised crime group the police have been hunting for years.  The device wrapped around her neck is suffocating her, crushing her chest. But for rookie detective, Jake Tanner, something doesn't seem right. The heist doesn’t fit any of their previous patterns. And the last time Jake met them, he was staring down the barrel of their gun, bargaining for his life.  The men who put it there have left her to die. When the shop owner is kidnapped and a collar bomb is attached to her neck, Jake learns one of his own is involved – a police officer.  Her life now rests in Jake Tanner’s hands.  As Jake follows the group on a wild goose chase, he questions everything he knows about his team.
