In addition to the routine caseload of gang crime, murder and armed robbery, Irish terrorist groups launched a vicious and prolonged terror campaign.??The Author, a Detective Inspector in the Crime Intelligence Branch at New Scotland Yard, witnessed a series of major scandals. He reveals why many otherwise honest detectives strove to rectify defects in the law that allowed professional criminals to evade justice. When Sir Robert Marks, the newly appointed Police Commissioner, described the CID as 'the most routinely corrupt organisation in London', there may have been more than an element of truth in his extraordinary claim but it devastated the public's credibility in the CID. ??Using his own cases and experience, he demonstrates the difficulties faced by a depleted, demoralised Police Force not least 'the enemy within'. ??Crime and Corruption at The Yard is a gripping, shocking and instructive insider's account of sharp end police work. Salutary lessons are learnt about the effect of PC and 'human rights' on the preservation of law and order.

A sinister organisation led by a shadowy figure known only as 'The Stoatmaster' whose cold tentacles seemingly stretch unendingly so that no place and no one is safe - not even the police. A Muslim detective, himself a twin, whose background renders others suspicious of him.

When depravity is licenced by money and everything, even a child, has a price, the only word left is 'evil'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this time-slip romantic mystery, a captivating painting connects a young woman to her new artist beau—and to a Victorian diary full of haunting secrets. While visiting London’s Tate Britain museum, Cori Keeling can’t take her eyes off her favorite pre-Raphaelite painting: John Everett Millais’s Ophelia. But it’s Cori herself who catches the eye of gallery worker and aspiring artist Simon Daniels. He’s immediately struck by Cori’s resemblance to the red-haired beauty in the nineteenth-century masterwork. Though the painting draws Cori and Simon together, its Cori who becomes obsessed with its haunting subject. Her determination to learn more leads to a mysterious, century-old diary—one kept by a woman named Daisy who hid a shocking secret in its pages. The further Cori reads, the clearer it becomes that Daisy will stop at nothing to be heard—and that she’s crying out for Cori to help her. As the ghosts of the past envelop Cori and Simon, they’ll discover the truth about the girl in the painting, the woman in the diary—and Cori’s own chilling connection to both of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a historical overview and then-and-now comparison of performing for British television drama. By examining changing acting styles from distinct eras of television production – studio realism and location realism - it makes a unique contribution to both television and performance studies, unpacking the various determinants that have combined to influence how performers work in the medium. The book compares the original versions of The Quatermass Experiment(BBC, 1953), Doctor Who (BBC, 1963–89) and Survivors (BBC, 1975–77) with their respective modern-day re-makes, unpacking the effects of the shift from multi-camera studio to single-camera location production. Textual analysis is combined with extensive archival research into production process and reception, alongside interviews with numerous actors and production personnel from more than sixty years of television production.
