Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. For the first time ever, a senior detective and undercover agent has broken rank to reveal the stark reality of life in the police force today. Duncan MacLaughlin was one of New Scotland Yard's elite. In a career spanning more than two decades he served in both the Central Drugs Squad and the Regional Crime Squad - Britain's equivalent of the FBI. Trained in SAS covert techniques, his expertise lay in money laundering and undercover surveillance and he walked a dangerous tightrope that could have got him killed at any moment. Infamous cases in which he was involved include the investigation of Kenneth Noye, the pursuit of kidnap victim Stephanie Slater and the slaying of PC Keith Blakelock. He also penetrated international drugs cartels and nailed the ruthless barons who controlled them. Filled with black humour, gritty slang and investigative detail that only an ex-copper could reveal, MacLaughlin's story is a riveting insight into the world of serious crime that is both thrilling and frightening. With shocking behind-the-scenes stories that you'll never read in the papers or see on Crimewatch, The Filth is the true story about working on the dark side of the streets. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Softcover / Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. First edition. Softcover. They called it the manhunt of the 20th century, one which confounded the world for three decades. Countless theories have been advanced on the fate of Lord Lucan after he vanished following the brutal slaying of his children's nanny. At last, the jigsaw fits. Former detective Duncan MacLaughlin, one of Scotland Yard's elite, has cracked the audacious charade which enabled the Earl of Lucan to evade the long arm of the law. He was aided by friends in high places, the arrogant 'club within a club' that played the game by its own rules ('to hell with the common norms of civic behaviour') to ensure that 'Lucky' Lucan stayed free. MacLaughlin reveals where the aristrocrat fled, disguised as Jungle Barry, the name of an uncanny Lucan lookalike he met on the run. Having been hit with a firestorm of propaganda and spurious disinformation from the heart of the Establishment when he first revealed these astonishing facts, MacLaughlin launches a convincing counterstrike.
