Author Event at Griffin Bay Books: Philip Donlay
Posted April 14, 2014 at 5:45 am by Tim Dustrude
Pilot and author Philip Donlay is making a return engagement to Griffin Bay Bookstore on Saturday afternoon, April 19, from 2:00 — 4:00 pm to showcase his latest novel, Deadly Echoes, the fourth Donovan Nash thriller. Much of the action-packed story takes place in the San Juan Islands so if you’re in the mood for a “heart-thumping ride” as one reviewer wrote, with hints of an “eco-atrocity” be sure and stop by the bookstore to meet and chat with the author. He’ll be on hand to sign Deadly Echoes and let you know more about his writing forays into mayhem and danger.
In Deadly Echoes Donovan Nash finds himself under siege by his old nemesis, Garrick Pearce, who is bent on a ruthless vendetta and threatening to destroy the scientific research organization Eco-Watch. The organization, founded by Donovan, is blamed for a series of violent eco-atrocities that have ignited protests around the world.
Garrick not only threatens to annihilate Eco-Watch, but also promises to murder everyone close to Donovan. Enlisting the help of Erica, a woman who claims she has information he needs about the violence, the two are under threat from several quarters. Donovan must run from trained assassins, the FBI, and even his own organization, racing from Southern California to the San Juan Islands, to British Columbia, then finally to Alaska where he joins Eco-Watch personnel in a desperate attempt to stop what promises to be the worst eco-atrocity in history. This is a high-stakes gamble to stop Garrick’s villainy, to silence him forever, and it could well cost Donovan his life.
