Sounds great so far but there are a number of issues. They have to remain on the books as a usual CID officer and also do normal police work when they are not working for SO10. This often involves a political tug of war between the leader of SO10 and the officer's commanding officer back at his or her station. There are also the constraints of gathering evidence, they must be very careful to not break the law themselves and not to entrap the people they are pursuing. As you can imagine this often leads to very stressful situations which are very life threatening.
The book covers a handful of operations that Martin & Philip are involved in, the majority being the infiltration of drug gangs. The book is fascinating as they talk about how the wires they sometimes wear are clunky and fraught with danger. A world a way from the kind of thing you would expect to be in use. How they go about blending in is also fascinating. They must drive around in flash cars, be violent when the situation commands it and act like a bit time drug dealer. At the same time they must be careful to not be over the top. This can lead to them calling off deals because they can't be seen to be too keen as this is suspicious.
This is a fascinating book which is very easy to read, anyone who has an interest in UK true crime would really enjoy it. ( )
