In 1961 a young man from an unhappy and often troubled childhood made a decision to improve his life. The ensuing journey led him to meet and serve royalty, dukes, earls and prime ministers, as well as dealing with some of the most notorious and dangerous criminals Britain has ever seen.

That young man was the author of this aptly named autobiography, Rogues and Royals, which covers his remarkable journey through a thirty year career as a frontline British Bobby.
