One of the books in Root's list of books consulted, 'The Fall of Scotland Yard', is equally worth reading, to give a sense of the press sniffing at the corrupt squads and of the smell of the Seventies, including that aura (as exploited by the likes of Drury) that British police were the best (also pushed by The Sweeney on TV) and could not do wrong.\" * Professional Security Magazine *","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865742881111,"sku":"9780750989206","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780750989206.jpg?v=1722275358","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/crossing-the-line-of-duty-9780750989206","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
