Abstract
"When Robert Higgins of Scotland Yard handed in his resignation after more than thirty years' service with the police, he had gained fifty-eight official commendations for his work, more than any other officer of his rank. In this book he tells the story of how he rose from duties on the beat to become one of the country's leading and most successful detectives. At various times attached to the Murder Squad, to the Fraud Squad and, as Deputy chief, to the Flying Squad, "bob" Higgins was respected and feared throughout the underworld of London. " - Cover
