In Baby X we learned how super-tough cop Harry Keeble and his colleagues in Hackney's Child Protection Unit rescued dozens of kids, faced lynch mobs and undertook the impossible job of interviewing paedophiles. Now, in Little Victim, Harry takes us through an extraordinary year in the life of the unit, as the team investigates some of the worst cases of child abuse they've ever encountered. These include a middle-class mother who shook her baby to death, the children kept in a cage, the rape of a three-year-old boy and an innocent grandfather falsely accused of paedophila. Little Victim provides a unique insight into the complex issue of child abuse in the UK. Continuing his battle to bring Britain's child abusers to justice, Harry is pushed right to the edge as he confronts horrors past and present.

This is a great read written by Harry Keeble and seeing real life situations, yes not always "nice situations", through the eyes of the agencies involved. It makes you realise how overworked these departments are and perhaps you can understand how some things get "overlooked". This is the second book I've read by Harry and the best so far. Each chapter is just the right size and it's nice how he goes back over some cases that have moved on, albeit not always with a happy outcome.

I stayed up for literally 3 days solid reading this book....It was heartbreaking to read, but informative and honest. It certainly opened my eyes to the child protection world. I can't wait for more from the author from his time in Child Protection.

I couldnt keep this book down till I finished it... This book opens your eyes to what can happen to children of such age and in a way helps you to be more vigilant about things happening around you. Also I got to know the role of social services in such kids life's and what all they have to go through and the way the handle these situations...
