Description

The shocking true story behind the hit TV drama Three Girls, this book tells the story of a determined detective who launched a one-woman campaign to bring down gangs of men who were grooming, abusing and trafficking children for sex. Maggie Oliver's account is a heart-breaking and shocking story of how her actions secured convictions in one of the most notorious grooming cases in the UK.

Along the way, Oliver reveals the shocking examples of how the authorities were letting down vulnerable children, and the personal cost she paid in losing her job and at times her mind. This is the first ever account from a police insider on the endemic problem of child sexual exploitation across the nation, and how these cases are handled by the authorities.

This book is a powerful and thought-provoking account of one woman's bravery in speaking out against injustice, and the devastating impact it had on her own life. It is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in true crime, law enforcement, and social justice.
