About this product
Product Information
The Squad that investigated The Great Train Robbery. The Old Grey Fox or One Day Tommy (Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Butler) selected six of the best officers on the elite Metropolitan Police Flying Squad to investigate the Crime of the Century, but whilst many books have been written by and about every criminal arrested for this crime, NONE have been written about the detectives who traced and tracked them. Tommy Butler delayed his retirement to complete the job, but died a few months after he retired at 57 years of age, the only detective of his rank in the late 1950s and 1960s not to publish an autobiography. This book provides a detailed account of the men tasked with tracking down the most notorious thieves in British history. It examines the investigation in detail and asks how it would contrast with the methods used today should a similar incident take place. Geoff Platt examines what happened to these men after the investigation was closed and the effect it had on both their personal and professional lives. AUTHOR: George Simpson Duncan was born in Forfar, on 8 March 1884, the son of Alexander Duncan, tailor's cutter, and his wife, Isabella Brown. In 1915, he was ordained to the ministry of the Church of Scotland and became an army chaplain. In 1919, Duncan succeeded to the Chair of Biblical Criticism in St. Andrews. His work in the New Testament field brought him international reputation, and in 1948, Duncan became president of the Society for New Testament Studies, of which he was a founder-member. Academic eminence never estranged him from ordinary people, whether soldier or ex-serviceman, parish minister or parishioner. He died in 1965. 16 illustrations

This seller gave excellent communication & a full refund when the book I ordered was found to be damaged at the warehouse. They sent a very apologetic email explaining the issue & refunded me straight away. I have used this seller before & they have always been reliable & prompt with delivery. The items have also been in even better condition than described for an amazingly reasonable price. This was not their fault, so I would definitely buy from this seller again & recommend them to others.
