DEADLY
ECHOES
By
Philip Donlay
I
picked this book up thinking it sounded interesting. Boy, was I wrong. It was
more than interesting. Fantastic comes to mind. So does gripping. Once I
started, I couldn’t put this book down.
Eco-Watch
is a scientific research organization founded by Donovan Nash. It took Donovan
a long time and a lot of sweat to build this international institution up to
being one of the most solicited in the world. Its technology has been applied
to protect the environment in ways other companies could not. But now it’s
being attacked by Garrick Pearce, the one person who knows Donovan’s true past.
Garrick wants to not only tell the world Donovan’s real identity but to
annihilate Eco-Watch and kill anyone close to Donovan. Garrick has a personal
vendetta—he believes Donovan is responsible for Meredith Barnes’s death, a woman
who fought for the environment and whom Garrick was in love with.
From
Alaska to British Columbia to Los Angeles and many other places in between,
Donovan follows leads. Garrick taunts him with past pictures of Meredith. He is
forced to commit his own crimes as he tries to protect his wife Lauren,
daughter Abigail, and a new woman he meets—Erica. Donovan’s marriage was
already on the rocks and when Erica makes an appearance in Donovan’s life, it
makes Donovan’s personal life go from upsetting to terrifying. Erica holds
information that can take down Garrick and his cohorts, but Donovan must keep
everyone from getting killed, himself included, in order to use that knowledge.
Not
only is Donovan fighting to save Eco-Watch but he’s also racing to save his
family, friends, his marriage, and his personal past from being made public. If
the world finds out who he really is, not only will Eco-Watch be ruined but his
world as he knows it will implode. It’s a race to the finish. From beginning to
end, this is one thrill ride that I highly recommend.
