Welcome to the start of the Swinging Sixties! It's a time of change as support for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament grows during the height of the Cold War. Gwen Crockford of the Newbury Police has been promoted to Woman Police Sergeant in Newbury, the town at the centre of Britain's atomic weapons programme.
Ruth's third book in the trilogy explores her mum's role in the local police force. Meet Wendy from the Empire cafe, where the police enjoyed their regular lardy cake. Learn about the grotty police station in Pelican Lane and what happens when rats raided the police dog's food. Amidst the camaraderie of the Newbury police force at the time, there are also tales of an attempted murder at Greenham Common, a rape in Victoria Park and more.
