‘Being posted to Campbeltown 42 years ago as a rookie cop dictated the course of my life, and the lives of many others, and yet it could just as easily have been anywhere in Strathclyde.’

Simon’s book takes the reader on an often hilarious, sometimes scary, always fascinating journey through the ranks of the Scottish police.
