First published as a collection of blogs raising concerns about police reforms, The Rest Is Silence led to J.J. Patrick’s two year fight against the Metropolitan Police Service and one of the most extraordinary examples of whistleblowing in the history of policing.
With Patrick prevented from speaking to the public much of what happened took place behind closed doors, the way Scotland Yard likes it, but there are times they simply pick a fight with the wrong person.
In this definitive edition, Patrick lays the old skeletons to rest for good.
Circa l’autore
James once did a good thing. He now lives a quiet life and is happy with his lot, which is all that really matters. He’s been compelled to write ever since he can remember. J.J. Patrick – or JP to those who know that he’s nothing but trouble – was born in the New Forest and did most of his growing up in Derbyshire. He served as a police officer for ten years, resigning from New Scotland Yard having acted as a whistle-blower, kicking off a parliamentary inquiry into the manipulation of crime figures by the police. He received open praise at the highest levels, for his integrity. At a bit of a loose end – largely being seen as an unemployable risk to skeletons in closets everywhere – he opened a pub. Wrestling a road closure, along with his own demons and ghosts, he was bankrupted and lost everything in the spring of 2016. If you knew him, you’d say that the broken pieces fit together much better nowadays. Should you wish to keep up with his often ludicrous and frenetic antics, you can find him on Twitter as @j_amesp
