Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A hard hitting account of a beat copper's life on the streets of Swansea in the 60's, 70's and 80's, based on the author's own experience. Fresh from his time in the Royal Marines and a secondment to Bletchley Park, Probabtioner Constable Frank Dix is determined to make a career for himself in the Swansea Borough police and nothing will stop him. NO STEP BACK. "Gene Hunt from Life on Mars is a softie compared to Frank Dix." "Full of humour and grit, this is a police memoir with a difference." "They don't make policemen like Frank Dix anymore, more's the pity." Is this fact or fiction? Alan Lloyd, with the masterful assistance of accomplished writer Nigel Williams, tells a tale of life in the Swansea police in days of old, when the town was a tough seaport. As both Alan and Nigel are former police officers, this book is lent more than a hint of realism - fact or fiction? I will leave you to decide, but one thing is for sure, this is a book you will struggle to put down until the very end.
