ACIO Phil Connelly Headed up Lima Heroin Branch based at Customs House on the Embankment overlooking H M S Belfast. He was less than impressed when this book was first published as he felt Harry had betrayed the Team by giving away some of its operational secrets. Sadly Harry was no alone in disappointing Phil Connelly, one of his top rated UC’s botched a meeting that could have netted between 100 - 125 kilos of cocaine - piggyback container job. The informant was promised £2000 per kilo in reward money as a collective thank you, for all her efforts…..
Harry Ferguson used to work for MI6 but then transferred to law-enforcing agencies. This book is, in fact, biographical describing a particular drugs bust. Having said that, it is not at all boring: it reads like a well-written thriller. I was tempted to give it 4 stars ... and still might change my mind about my current rating.
