Bent coppers

Over 3,000 words on an apparently bent copper who was allowed free rein in the Mets for years despite it being apparent to senior officers that he was on the take.

The difficulty is that many senior officers are in denial. The few bad apples syndrome. But in the text you will find that it was accepted in the Mets that a Regional Crime Squad had a firm within a firm.

I bet a senior officer will say in reply: it is all different now. I systems ensure that this could not happen nowadays.

""Untouchables" by Michael Gillard and Laurie Flynn will be published this month by Bloomsbury"

Aha, another chance to get hold of a copy!

I'm surprised Clifford Norris hasn't been found dead, now he's a nomark you'd think he might be seen as a bit of a liability.
