In his two-decades-long career with the Metropolitan Police, Detective Sergeant Harry Keeble has hunted child murderers and child abusers, drug dealers and hit men. And then, in response to the call to arms in the wake of the July 2005 London bombings, he transferred from Hackney's Child Protection Team to S-Squad, an elite counter terrorism unit. From day one he was thrown into the front line of a number of heart-stopping operations that involved deadly armed hunts for suicide bombers and bomb factories. As Harry won respect for his bravery and commitment, he was asked to lead increasingly complex and sensitive missions. Terror Cops covers, among other subjects, the Haymarket bomb, the Glasgow airport attacks, the liquid bomb plot, how terrorist cells are created, the use of terrorist training camps in the UK, and working in tandem with the Muslim community. Terror Cops is a white-knuckle ride into the battle against extremism. Like the authors' previous bestselling titles, Crack House and Baby X, the book is written in Harry's distinctive voice and gives unprecedented insight into what it's like to fight terrorism in Britain today.

I love all books by Harry Keeble. They give such an insight into a world we would otherwise never see. Also when I e-mail Harry he always replies, more than can be said for other authors. Just looking forward to more books from this great author. Don't know where he gets the time with such an active career in policing.

I was very disappointed in this book. I had really enjoyed Crack House an excellent book which was exciting, informative, had a narrative drive and really reflected the author's front-line role in the Met.
In contrast I found this book only sporadically interesting and definitely got the impression that the author was struggling to find something dramatic to say about a role (surveillance) which is obviously extremely important but yet often tedious. As well as lacking the excitement of his drug squad days it also lacks the `whole picture' involvement that one might get from an investigator's tale.
I found that the attempts to create artificial drama really got on my nerves too - training, random encounters in the street etc all got the James Bond treatment, which probably tells you as much about the co-author/publisher as Harry.
I wanted to like this book, if only out of respect for the work being done by SO15, but ultimately I'd not bother with it.

Disappointing, probably fiction...
This disappointing book tells of infallible cops who never lose a suspect, never fail to foil the terrorists and never ever shoot anyone by mistake. Read more

Well written and interesting.
It's a very good book that keeps you reading. Four stars only, as it does get a bit repetative at the end.
