You're Nicked!

Product Description

You're Nicked! is a page-turning insider view of the golden era in the Metropolitan Police Force. Dick Kirby, that loose cannon of the Flying Squad, recounts his hair-raising adventures from the 1960s through to the 1990s in a style that's not for the faint-hearted. His frank account of the way policing used to be takes us straight into the crime-ridden streets of Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam & of course London. Whether he's carrying out arrests in a hostile East End pub or dealing with a schizophrenic arsonist in a blazing building, Kirby tells it straight. Trapping some of London's most vicious armed robbers & nabbing the thief who cracked the Flying Squad commander's safe, his exploits are described with his trademark black humour, often shocking & always uncompromising.
