I Swear By Almighty G-G-G-God

More about the book

'Having a dad - for want of a better word - who was a wife-beater, a drunk, a thief, a burglar and an idle, lazy, work-shy, vain, narcissistic egotist encouraged me to start work early...' Nick Clements didn't just get a job, he became his criminal father's worst nightmare by joining the police force and becoming a fearless, determined and mould-breaking young copper. This is the story of how it happened, rich with humour and horror, danger and excitement, passion and illicit sex, marital joy and strife, triumphs and setbacks. Above all, the memoir tells of a young man's determination to escape his past (overcoming a crippling stutter along the way) and prove himself as a fearless representative of the law. 'Think of this as 'Billy Elliott' meets 'The Sweeney' and you'll have the gist of it.'
