No-one knows the real reason DI Cole has ended up at Sheerham and "cop-shop. and " He's been something of a hero down at Scotland Yard after cracking the notorious Ice-cream Man case. The word is that he grassed on some Masonic lodge cover-up.When Jane West goes missing, Sheerham suddenly has its own paedophile case to solve - one where the victims are picked up from school by a police car...Cops see things no-one should see or hear and can spend their dat knee-deep in hatred and violence, corruption and filth.That's why DI Cole knows it;s sometimes hard to tell the difference between cops...and other robbers.The same crime shelves that gave me Paul Johnston's books also gave me Cops and other Robbers by I. K. Watson. It's a nasty book about a nasty subject. A paedophile has killed one of his victims. Another child is missing. Can the police find him before this one too is murdered? This is a raw and nasty story and the writer pulls no punches. No details are omitted, no veil is drawn over the brutality.
