Trade paperback. The first ever personal account of the work of a modern-day CID detective, which also tells of his descent into mental illness. An adrenalin-filled, shocking, sometimes hilarious and often despairing account, that those at the top will not welcome.
Synopsis
Welcome to the Criminal Investigation Department, aka the Crime Factory. Where the cops take and sell drugs (or steal them from the police storeroom), where they fit up, 'verbal' and harrass criminals, fight each other, drink-drive, abuse search warrants, have sex with sources, and stab one another in the back (metaphorically).
