Brian Paddick’s autobiography is out

Following serialisation of the highlights in the Sunday papers, you can now buy Brian Paddick’s autobiography, Line of Fire.

The blurb says:

Now freed of the constraints imposed by his professional responsibilities Brian Paddick reveals the full extraordinary story of his life and career. From early days on the beat, including searing experiences such as the Brixton riots, he went on to gain successive promotions despite what many in such a traditional organisation would have perceived as the ‘handicap’ of his sexuality. And yet he himself would argue it was another characteristic that led him to clash with superiors and ultimately made him conclude his career was over: his honesty. Full of colour, candour and cracking stories, this hugely compelling book provides the missing link between police memoir, true crime and celebrity autobiography.

Buy Line of Fire through this link and the party gets a cut from Amazon.

    This sounds serializable – both in print and on TV. Who is doing what with the rights? – before May 1 please.

    Today’s Evening Standard says the book talks about a period when he was a Freemason. Is this true?
