Killers, Kidnappers, Gangsters and Grasses

On the Frontline with the Metropolitan Police
Gripping personal accounts by front line police officers in late 20th century.
In his latest thrilling book, much published crime author Dick Kirby draws on his fast moving policing service, much of which was with Scotland Yard's Serious Crime Squad and the Flying Squad. As if that was not enough he brings in accounts of fellow coppers during the final decades of the 20th century to add a fresh dimension.It quickly becomes clear to the reader that Kirby and his colleagues practised their art in a markedly different style than that prevailing today. Corners were cut, regulations ignored and pettifogging rules trampled on in the wider public interest of bringing criminals to justice and preserving law and order. Above all the best senior detectives led fearlessly.Kirby describes front line policing where the public came first and the criminals a poor second. There are great stories of arrests, ambushes, fights and meeting informants in unlikely places.Eyebrows may be raised at the book's contents but many will feel that there is no place in the fight against serious crime for woke-ness' and political correctness and regret the passing of no-nonsense law enforcement.
