THE THESEUS PARADOX

We accepted it was terrorism.

But what if we were wrong?

What if London's July bombings were the greatest criminal deception of our time?

7 July 2005: in the midst of Operation Theseus, the largest terrorist investigation that the UK has ever known, Detective Inspector Jake Flannagan begins to ask difficult questions that lead to the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend and his sudden suspension from the Metropolitan Police.

• Who masterminded London's summer of terror?
• Why can't Flannagan make headway in the sprawling investigation?
• Are the bombings the perfect ploy to mask a different plot entirely?
• Is Jake's absent girlfriend really who she claims to be?

While hunting for the answers to the most complex terrorist case in British history, one man will uncover the greatest criminal deception of our time.

Terror, extremism and fear of the unknown...sometimes the answer is much closer to home.
