Brian Paddick’s autobiography

By | Tue 5th February 2008 - 10:41 am

Brian Paddick’s autobiography Line of Fire is due out next month.

According to the publishers:

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.  

You can pre-order it now from Amazon at half-price.

    Will he explain his talks with Francis Maude about becoming the Tory candidate for Mayor? Paddick initiated the talks by contacting Cameron.
