London: Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd, 1963. 1st edition. The author was an ex-Inspector of the Metropolitan Police. "In addition to much curious and unexpected information, particularly in the traffic-patrol and stolen car field in which he specialised, he sticks out his neck on the subject of the eternal rivalry between theuniformed and C.I.D. broanches of the police, and pulling no punches suggests some of the reforms he would introduce if he were a Commissioner." Pp.159. Dark blue cloth, dustwrapper has wear to edges and spine. VG/Good.
