The Voice

In this new novel, DCI Steve Burt becomes a father for the first time. When he gets back to work shortly after the birth of his baby, he is thrust into a complex investigation involving carjacking, murder and a mysterious entity called ‘the Voice’ who is apparently controlling everything. However, no one knows who the Voice is because he disguises his voice using an electronic device.

Finding him will be a near-impossible task for DCI Burt, who simultaneously gets involved in trying to discover the whereabouts of a missing soldier. The soldier is the son of DCI Burt’s ex-commander, so Burt feels particularly obliged to try to find him.

What he uncovers in trying to find this soldier is a conspiracy at the highest levels of government, involving a secret weapon, a crazed and brainwashed Communist and traitor and more.

The world of warfare is changing, and a new weapons delivery system developed secretly in the UK is targeted by an international terrorist gang who set out to steal it on instructions from "The Voice". "The Voice" is a mysterious mastermind who uses an electronic device to disguise his voice and keep his identity hidden.

DCI Steve Burt is asked by his old Army Commander to search for his son, a serving Army officer who has gone missing. This unofficial enquiry becomes part of an official investigation and takes the DCI into a world of international intrigue, terrorism, murder and corruption at the highest level of government and the Metropolitan Police. The evidence always leads back to "The Voice" but who is he? Unearthing a phantom is a difficult task even for DCI Burt.
