Jack Gatland – Author of the DI Declan Walsh series

Hi there

I'm Jack Gatland.

You might not have heard of me, but I’ve been writing under other names for over thirty years.

Now, I’m writing a new series of Crime Thrillers starring Detective Inspector Declan Walsh, recently seconded to the City of London Police department known as the Last Chance Saloon.

The first three of these, LETTER FROM THE DEAD, MURDER OF ANGELS and HUNTER HUNTED are available NOW. The fourth, WHISPER FOR THE REAPER is released on April 4th 2021, the fifth, TO HUNT A MAGPIE on June 6th 2021 and the sixth, BEHIND THE WIRE on 8th August 2021 – with further adventures continuing throughout the year.

But as you’ve never heard of me, it’s only fair that I give you a sample of my work.

So, if you join my Readers Group, I’ll send you a free DI Walsh ebook – LIQUIDATE THE PROFITS – a full story and a prequel to LETTER FROM THE DEAD!

Please note, that this is also the only way to read this book, as it will not be for sale alone on Amazon!

I hope you enjoy it, and I hope to share many more Declan Walsh adventures with you.

Jack

Really enjoyed it! The plot is unusual and complex, and the characters are interesting. Found myself looking to see when the next one is available, when I was only about halfway through this one. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have read all the books in the series so far and enjoyed them all, but this is the best so far. I couldn't go to bed till I had finished it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thirty years ago, a group of five child detectives; Tommy, Luke, Tess, Jane and Daniel, along with their dog, Dexter made the national press with their crime solving. Nicknamed the Magpies, their adventures were written up as novels by Reginald Troughton and released to children around the world, including a ten-year old Declan Walsh.

But now, someone is targeting the Magpies, with Reginald brutally murdered while writing a last, 'lost' adventure. And DI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon must not only solve the author's murder, but at the same time delve into a decades old conspiracy - one that suggests that the Magpies were created as a Government PR stunt gone wrong...

Before he was a policeman, Declan Walsh was a Sergeant in the Special Investigation Branch of the Royal Military Police.

Now, years later, a kidnapping case that he was never able to solve returns to his desk, when a copycat kidnapper strikes on a Midlands Army Base.

But returning to his past is harder than he expected, especially when his current team face off against his old team, including his ex-partner, who has a score to settle...
