Product Description
Product Description
Rapists. Paedophiles. Psychopaths. Their crimes are the most horrific of any criminal and the devastation wrought on the victims and their families is incalculable. Their crimes are often highly organized, systematic and secretive, making their capture a challenge that is never an easy one. David Bright is a man who has taken on this challenge again and again - and won. In his pursuit of justice he is relentless and unerring. His dedication to fighting these monsters has earned him 33 commendations, three awards for gallantry and an MBE. An outstanding record which only a select few can claim to equal. His investigations put Sydney Cooke, dubbed the most evil man in Britain, behind bars. Cooke headed the most sadistic paedophile ring in Britain. A ring who, it is believed, abducted, repeatedly sexually abused and then killed around 20 young teenagers. His ground-breaking work in this investigation, amongst many others, alerted the public to the existence of organised paedophilia. A menace that had previously either been hushed up, ignore or simply not fully understood. In this volume David Bright takes the reader on a journey into the world of the monsters that plague us. It is an uncompromising, sometimes uncomfortable read, yet could be viewed as vital if we are to understand and combat these demons.

This book is not for the faint hearted. David Bright's account of catching a succession of utterly evil people is a harrowing read. The pain and misery inflicted on the victims by these criminals comes across vey vividly.
The investigations are well described. Generaly there's not much "Sherlock Holmes" type work here. This is not a criticism. Most cases are solved by a combination of plodding investigative graft and the odd bit of good fortune. That's a pretty accurate picture.
My only criticism is that, as fas as I can recall, every police officer in the book comes across as outstanding. I'm sure that many were but after a while one does begin to wonder where the slightly less competent ones were. I'm not talking about misbehaviour just, for example, that an individual might not be good at paperwork!
But that's a realy minor gripe. This does not stop it getting five stars as a gripping if disturbing read.
And David Bright comes across as a totally decent chap, a hard working detective and with great compassion and sensitivity towards the victims. And as the proceeds are going to a range of very worthy charities that confirms what a decent bloke he is.

This is a fascinating and well written book. It really is eye opening and rather worrying. Some of the horrific crimes covered in here are truly too awful to contemplate. However, it really is a must read. David Bright and others in this book who have helped remove the monsters off our streets deserve nothing but the highest praise. Highlights what a difficult job the police do, especially under the constraints of Labour's highly damaging politically correct policies.
I can't recommend this enough, but be warned, it is not for the faint hearted...

For those of us unfortunate to have worked with Dave Bright it would difficult to comprehend how he could perpertrate such tales of fantasy. He is truly a Walter Mitty character and probably finds the idea of donating the proceeds to charity some form of redemption. I dont suppose that the Charities benefitting will have much to count.
