The downstream effects of a prosecution would be apocalyptic. The US authorities’ reaction would put the whole business at risk, as licences would be at risk.” A searing account of corruption, racism and mismanagement inside Britain's most famous police force Harper’s work is meticu­lous.

The scandal surround­ing the murder of Stephen Lawrence is a relevant starting point. Harper includes links between officers investigating the case and the father of one of the convicted men, how officers spied on Stephen’s parents, and how they bullied and targeted Stephen’s best friend.
