Reviews

[Wolfie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very engaging true story of drug law enforcement in the UK

[Jamie Coyne · Rating 3 out of 5]

slow start but improves

Decent enough but very slow start and a lot of jargon. There is not as much action as you’d expect

[Wilde Sky · Rating 4 out of 5]

A UK surveillance operative writes about the missions that he has worked on.

The first fifty pages are dull – bogged down with jargon / the geeky side of the job. But as soon as the actual description of the work begins (chasing criminals) this becomes a really gripping / interesting book.

I suspect that many criminals will find this an interesting read, as it deals with some techniques used to keep them under surveillance.

This was the first book in the house we rented with my cousins in Tenerife in October. It started out very slowly, and was a bit difficult to read at first. Maybe it was me or the British spy story that I doubted as fact. Once I had finished, it all made more sense to me.
