More about the book
As one of a handful of police officers trained in deep-cover surveillance, David Corbett infiltrated tough communities, living among junkies, prostitutes, murderers, and firearm dealers, to gather evidence that would lead to dozens of convictions. He trained in urban and rural surveillance and invented a fictional past for himself. Corbett risked his life every day—one false move and his cover would have been blown. His work led to 31 convictions and commendations from the Chief Constable and a Crown Court judge, but the stress took its toll and he was forced into early retirement. Now, betrayed by the force that sent him out on these dangerous missions, Corbett reveals the gripping story of life in the perilous world of an undercover cop.
