More about the book

Set in post-World War II England, the novel offers a starkly humorous look at life in Yorkshire through the eyes of Martin Rooney. Scarred by a traumatic childhood and service in R.A.F. Bomber Command, he faces bleak job prospects. Joining the Crown as an officer, he is thrust into an unexpected reality that challenges his perceptions of law enforcement, revealing a more complex and less idealized view of justice.
