Description
Bent Coppers: The Story of the Man Who Arrested John Lennon, George Harrison and Brian Jones In 1967, London was gripped by a cultural explosion that saw crime rates soar and the tabloid press become increasingly paranoid. Amidst this chaos, a young and ambitious police officer joined the Metropolitan Police Drug Squad, determined to tackle the city's most notorious drug users. His targets were the celebrities and musicians who were glamorising illegal activity and exploiting Britain's burgeoning drugs trade. The officer's methods were uncompromising, and his targets included some of the most famous names of the time. The consequences of his actions were severe, and the officer's career was ultimately destroyed by the very scandal he had sought to expose. This is the electrifying true story of Norman Pilcher, the most infamous police officer in British law enforcement history. Pilcher's story is one of truth and justice, but also of corruption and betrayal. In the end, he sets the record straight, revealing the truth about his time in the Drug Squad and the events that led to his downfall.
