Memoirs; True crime; Police & security services

A gritty yet high-spirited tale of life and death.

This humorous and witty true-crime memoir tells of one man’s place in a flawed system, whose resilience and dedication shine through his often-harsh reality.

As a directionless young man, when Robert sent off an application to be a police officer he did not stop to consider what it might entail. His career began in the mid-nineties, and he hit the ground running, quickly finding no two days were the same. Being a police officer is a test of someone’s potential, but also of their limits, which was increasingly true following Robert’s subsequent transition to the firearms team where his reality became armed sieges, dawn raids and plugging bullet wounds with his fingers.

This remarkable story offers a valuable insight into British policing and is the perfect blend of true crime, comedic action and human drama. Tracking such a varied and impressive career demonstrates how we can all go beyond our limitations to make a positive change in the world. Offering amusement, perspective, and hope, this book is a must read.
