THE POISONED TREE

Hardback. The untold truth about the police conspiracy to discredit John Stalker and destroy Kevin Taylor. Kevin Taylor is the Manchester businessman, who was 'fitted up' by the Greater Manchester Police to get rid of its Deputy Chief Constable, John Stalker, from the 'shoot-to-kill' enquiry in Northern Ireland. We now know that Kevin Taylor was the innocent, but convenient, victim of political manoevrings right up to Cabinet level, and with Stalker gone, he should have been left in peace. Far from it. His book reveals a further two-and-a-half year campaign of vindictiveness by senior officers of the Greater Manchester Police, involving an extensive range of grossly illegal and corrupt acts. The book climaxes with his trial, which ended in uproar and front-page headlines, in January 1990. Illus., Chronology. 219pp. 8vo. h/back.
