Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Times change and not always for the better. Dick Kirby, a former experienced Met detective and now best-selling author, maintains that the current politically correct culture coupled with an inept Crown Prosecution Service and aided and abetted by the Police & Criminal Evidence Act, has slowed the…pursuit of criminals and justice to a snails pace. As this gripping book clearly demonstrates it was not always so. During the 20th Century, uniformed officers were visibly part of the community, patrolling their beats and protecting the publics property. Detectives detected, cultivated informants and, like their uniform counterparts, knew the characters on their manor. Whats more, they were backed by their senior officers, who had on-the-job experience. Drawing on both celebrated and lesser known cases, the author vividly describes crime fighting against merciless gangsters, desperate gunmen, inept kidnappers, vicious robbers, daring burglars and ruthless blackmailers. Using his first-hand knowledge he highlights the often unconventional methods used to frustrate and outwit hardened criminals and the satisfaction gained from successful operations. One chapter An Old Master accurately describes the theft of Goyas portrait, The Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in 1961. This audacious heist was recently adapted into film: The Duke starring Jim Broadbent as the thief and Helen Mirren as his long-suffering wife. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
