The Detective in the Dooryard
Author: Timothy Cotton
Publisher: Down East Books
ISBN: 1608937437
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Tim Cotton has been a police officer for more than thirty years. The writer in him has always been drawn to the stories of the people he has met along the way. Dealing with the standard issue ne’er-do-wells as a patrol officer, homicide detective, polygraph examiner, and later as the lieutenant in charge of the criminal investigation division certainly provides an interesting backdrop—but more often he writes about the regular folks he encounters, people who need his help, or those who just want to share a joke or even a sad story. The Detective in the Dooryard is composed of stories about the people, places, and things of Maine. There are sad stories, big events, and even the very mundane, all told from the perspective of a seasoned police office and in the wry voice of a lifelong Mainer. Many of the stories will leave you chuckling, some will invariably bring tears to your eyes, but all will leave you with a profound sense of hope and positivity.

The Guv'nors
Author: Dick Kirby
Publisher: Casemate Publishers
ISBN: 1848849729
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
The ten Scotland Yard detectives, featured in The Guvnors, are unique. Such a group of intrepid crime-busters will never exist again. They possessed only the most rudimentary education; none had a degree. Intuition and knowledge of their manor counted for more than DNA and databases. They worked tirelessly in the pursuit of criminals, used informants, worked on hunches and grabbed hold of investigations and shook them until every piece of evidence was unearthed. Criminals trembled when these detectives were after them because, once they were nicked, they stayed nicked.The Guvnors covers legends such as Fred Wensley, who nailed strips of bicycle tyres to the soles of his boots when on the look-out for Jack the Ripper. He later formed the Flying Squad and became chief constable of the CID. Fred Sharpe would single-handedly confront forty of the worst racetrack gangsters and tell them to clear off, anyone who refused would collect a punch on the jaw. Sharpe later became head of the Flying Squad, as did Bob Fabian, who was awarded the Kings Police Medal for dismantling an IRA bomb.Bert Wickstead, known as The Gangbuster, literally terrorised the gangs who attempted to fill the void in Londons East End, after the demise of the Kray bothers.This is a book which will delight those who want to know what life was like when The Guvnors and others like them were in charge of law and order and the streets were far safer than they are today.

Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
A Stream at times can suddenly branch off into two distinct distributaries. Its still the same stream but it now displays multiple characteristics. That is quite similar to what occurred in detective Kellers life. Keller is a fi ne family man and a very good detective, but temptation and a single bad decision on one particular night caused a split in his personality that would not heal on its own. His one bad decision spread like a lethal infection causing him to indulge in activities that were both vicious and mean; decisions that went against his basic instincts and beliefs, but those decisions brought misery and death to a host of innocent victims. He treasured his family and would do anything in his power to protect them, but he could not prevent a particular homicide that visits him as a result of his previous actions. Keller is fortunate to have people who are close to him, stand by him through thick and thin. Somehow his evil slate is cleared by an unusual event and he returns to being a productive citizen.
