THIS is Mr Pannett’s second book, and it should definitely not be his last.

In it he recalls stories and annecdotes from the last ten years of his life as a police officer in North Yorkshire.

The book encompasses all the trials and tribulations of being a Yorkshire bobby - the brawls, the domestic violence, the car chases and, bizarrely, his experience of bank holidays and a full moon.

The autobiographical style and first person perspective make the book compelling as Mr Pannett’s descriptive prose dances through the reader’s imagination.
