In stock in Ireland - HARDBACK - very good condition - dust jacket is in good condition with shelf scuffing - boards are clean and tight - spine is uncreased and the spine text is clear - page block is clean and tidy With Scotland Yard in the dock, now more than ever the public needs to know why the police cannot be trusted to investigate their own corruption. Untouchables, a five year investigation which the Yard tried to stop, provides the essential context to the phone hacking and other scandals currently engulfing Britain's most powerful police force. Republished after seven years, it was the first book to question the cosy relationship between the Yard and sections of the media, to explain why cops are incapable of investigating themselves and to expose the lack of independence in the new police watchdog. From the 1983 Brinks Matt robbery, through the murders of Daniel Morgan, David Norris, Stephen Lawrence, Jill Dando and Damilola Taylor to the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, Untouchables reveals the cover ups, double standards and miscarriages of justice during the Yard's phoney war on corruption.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. The first expose of Scotland Yard in 30yrs and the result of a 5yr investigation into the Yard's most secretive and powerful unit - the very one charged with rooting out corrupt and racist police. In 1993 the Yard set up the Ghost Squad, an undercover and anti-corruption unit whose existence was known to only a handful of senior officers who operated with no independent oversight. In 1998, these shadowy detectives went public as 'The Untouchables'. Their motto: 'integrity is non-negotiable'. But instead of thorough corruption investigations and prosecutions, there was corruption management. Instead of justice and accountability, there were double standards and the cover-up of miscarriages of justice. Based on thousands of official documents, which the Yard hoped would never see the light of day, and hundreds of interviews, this book is an integrity test on the most powerful police force in Britain. For the first time, police whistle blowers speak out about the hidden failures and cover-ups during some of Scotland Yard's most high-profile cases, from the still unsolved murders of Daniel Morgan, David Norris, Stephen Lawrence and Damilola Taylor (at time of publication) to the prosecution of Royal Butler Paul Burrell and the Jill Dando case. The authors also reveal the secret history of corruption surrounding the biggest robbery in British history, the £26 million Brinks Mat gold bullion heist, which on its 21st anniversary still dogged Scotland Yard. After the Stephen Lawrence scandal, the Government promised a fully independent system of investigating the police. Instead, the Home Office stacked the new police watchdog with retired law enforcement officers led by the former head of the Yard's Anti-Corruption Squad.
