David has placed bugs on scores of vehicles, searched hundreds of properties, chased numerous dangerous criminals and interviewed thousands of witnesses. He is a former Scotland Yard Investigator with twenty years' policing experience, including counter-terror operations and organised crime. David was a lead investigator on the July 2005 London bombings. Today he uses his policing and detective experience in his writing as the author of a series of detective novels starring DI Jake Flannagan. As a Met detective, David worked on a wealth of infamous cases. He currently consults on security operations for high-net-worth individuals and is an expert media commentator on crime, terrorism, extremism and the London 7/7 bombings. The question that David gets asked most often is: 'How do you pronounce Videcette?' To save you asking, it's pronounced 'Wide-set', just with a 'V'. (Vyde-set). The second question David gets asked most often is: 'What really happened?' His answer is, 'I can't tell you the truth, but I can tell you a story...'
Astoundingly accomplished and pacey. Real-life police experience and know-how shine through on every page without it ever slowing the pace of the drama. The scenario Videcette paints is a vivid and realistic one. Possibly too realistic! -- Editor at Hodder & Stoughton A very exciting proposition indeed. The concept behind this book will make headlines. -- Editor at Hachette Subtle conspiracy, professionally written, credible and above all - intriguing. The desire to find out the truth will drive interest alone. Incredibly strong stuff. -- Editor at Harper Collins I adored the lead character, DI Jake Flannagan. He is one of a kind. I would class this novel in the same arena as the blockbusting best seller 'Bravo Two Zero' by Andy McNab - but for the fact that 'The Theseus Paradox' is far better written! -- Editor at Penguin We're into the action immediately and there's a great sense of authenticity and control in David's storytelling. The plot revelations in this book are all too possible. The whole tale is just far too chillingly credible! -- Agent at one of the UK's big five literary agencies Finished this at 6.00am this morning having thoroughly enjoyed it! Eloquent and adeptly argued, with an utterly thrilling conclusion. It leaves the reader hungry to research whether they believe this version of events! -- Former Mail-on-Sunday journalist An explosive finale with dialogue that has that rare ring of authenticity to it. Brilliant stuff that smacks you in the face! -- Editor at one of the world's top three news agencies FIVE STARS. Loved this book! Truly not expecting what was uncovered. Videcette has done justice to a very sensitive subject. The Theseus Paradox is a wonderfully written story, with horrifying real life events at its core. A uniquely special read. Books like this don't come around very often! -- Bibliophile book club. 'An absolute corker of a book! Real, tense, scary as hell!' - Best Crime Books & More 'Grabbed me by the throat and refused to let go.' - crimesquad.com 'Fans of 'I Am Pilgrim' will love this!' - Tracy Fenton, founder of THE Book Club on Facebook 'Talk about an adrenaline rush!' - Crime Book Junkie As investigated by The Sunday Telegraph and Inside Crime magazine.
