Product information
Full publisher description
'I have an excellent memory for faces. I recall the face of every dead body I have ever seen. Every murder victim, every suicide, every cot death and every death reported as unexplained.'
At the age of 22, Dennis McGookin was made a Detective Constable in the Criminal Investigation Department of Kent County Constabulary. He had no way of knowing at the time, but this career decision would put him at the heart of some of the most notorious crimes in Britain, including the case of Kenneth Noye, the so-called 'M25 Road Rage Killer', and the largest human-smuggling homicide investigation in British history.
Told with forensic detail, but also humanity and heart, The Many Faces of Crime is the story of an extraordinary career that took McGookin from the south side of Belfast to the diplomatic echelons of Beijing, and put him face-to-face with both victims and murderers.
