Produktinformationen zu „Scotland Yard's Casebook of Serious Crime / Pen and Sword True Crime (ePub)“
Real-life stories of cops vs. criminals from a veteran of the Metropolitan Police and author praised for his "engaging style" (Joseph Wambaugh, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Harbor Nocturne).
Dick Kirby, former long-serving Met officer and bestselling author, recounts the policing of the twentieth century, when uniformed officers were visibly part of the community, patrolling their beats and protecting the public's property. Detectives detected, cultivating informants and, like their uniform counterparts, knowing the characters on their manor. What's more, they were backed by their senior officers, who had on-the-job experience.
Drawing on both celebrated and lesser known cases, Kirby describes in plain speak crime-fighting against merciless gangsters, desperate gunmen, inept kidnappers, vicious robbers, daring burglars, and ruthless blackmailers. Using his firsthand knowledge, he highlights the often-unconventional methods used to frustrate and outwit hardened criminals-and the satisfaction gained from successful operations.
Praise for Dick Kirby's previous books
"A gritty series of episodes from his time in the Met-laced with black humor and humanity." -East Anglian Daily Times
