Softcover. A book covering the gamut of 'modern' police work - from cops on the beat to fingerprint experts and elite groups like the armed robbery squad. The author has spent hundreds of hours interviewing police - even accompanying them on active duty - to compile this collection of crime stories from behind the scenes. While some of the stories are particularly grim - like the Rye crossbow murder, the author manages to capture the black humour for which the Australian police are known. 148pp. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate + a small bookshop label. Pages 85-100 have been reversed by mistake in the binding process. Covers Nr F.
