George Smith Books

Based in the fictional New Town of Tinkers Hill, this is the story of teenagers Harry and Ed, who set out in life with one aim: to join the Police Cadet Corps in search of a better life. Expectations for each are not dissimilar, but coming from differing backgrounds and levels of schooling, they are catapulted into a cauldron of regimental discipline, all action physical exertion, as well as the thrill of trying to avoid detection and ultimate sanctions imposed by the ever-watchful Inspector Broadhurst. Encapsulating an awareness of how police cadet life was in the 1970's, the book introduces various colourful individuals who had an influential effect on pubescent teenagers. Hugely informative, yet at times hysterically funny, the book, based on real-life stories, gives an insight into how they survived the year in training, only for Ed to fall into the age-old trap of 'femme fatale', resulting in him paying the price for honesty. Honest, and compelling, Ed and Harry's stories will resonate with many from a bye-gone era.
