Behind the Call of Duty by Bob Thorogood
How did a little urchin, born in the last months of World War II in the back streets of Northampton, grow up to eventually occupy the chair of the town's Police Commander? This autobiography chronicles a childhood that may be seen as lonely, and provides an insight into what happened in a number of high profile cases, both local and national.
