The Mark: JACK'S QUEST FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE LANDS HIM IN HOT WATER - AGAIN.

Jack Mawgan #3

by Geoff Newman

The dramatic opening scenes of this story lead to Jack's involvement in a Government scheme to create a UK National Police Aviation Service to replace the hotch-potch collection of helicopters and aeroplanes run by each individual Police Force. The officials involved claim that they desire increased efficiency but their minds are focused on the huge kick back they will receive from the manufacturers of a fleet of new helicopters. Jack's task is to set up the new organisation and then return to his duties at the Cornwall Air Ambulance. While attending the scene of an apparent suicide he discovers that the victim was murdered. The lack of action by the authorities leads to Jack poking around into the business of influential people who have him carted off to a distant land where escape is almost impossible. The incredible story that then unfolds will keep the reader spellbound. Sadly the tale ends in a huge professional success for Jack's team but the gloss is taken from the story by immense personal tragedy.

[Greg · Rating 5 out of 5]

A tightly written thriller that, once again, takes our hero, Jack Mawgan, though several countries and many threats on his life, as he is swept along by events, beyond his control as part of a wide ranging plot of corruption in the highest places.
It is clear that Geoff Newman has considerable expertise in the management of the UK police helicopter and air ambulance field fleets and uses that with his dislike of a developing UK kleptocracy to write a complex yet thoroughly engrossing and wide ranging plot. The Mark is difficult to put down as you are always left wanting to know what is going to happen next in events that take the reader into some complex and diverse scenarios. You will enjoy this, the last in the Jack Mawgan trilogy.
