The Thinking Man’s Copper

Merlin At War by Mark Ellis is the third book in the thrilling D.C.I. Frank Merlin series that has gripped me from the start. The books can each be read as a stand-alone but I would recommend reading them in order for maximum enjoyment.

In this book we catch up with Frank Merlin in the summer of 1941 as he continues to investigate crimes against the backdrop of World War II.

Merlin At War sees murder, fraud, spies, double agents and a botched abortion. Good and bad men alike are lost either to crime or war. Merlin At War is a fabulous crime suspense.

Mark Ellis has created a complex interwoven plot that crosses continents – England, France, Argentina –  to name but a few. It is all very intriguing, keeping the reader on their toes and guessing. D.C.I. Frank Merlin is definitely a thinking man’s copper.
