Getting stuck into the new bunch of names I've collected for consideration to join The Squad. Here is my next instalment in my ongoing project to discover cops or ex-cops (and some PIs) who have taken to writing crime fiction - The Squad as I've named us! Today's new members are 3 from Britain, and our first Dutch cousin! I really do love adding new countries to The Squad - love that truly international flavour. We have joining us today: 1. Paul Finch - served with the Greater Manchester Police in the UK. 2. Graham Ison - served with the Metropolitan Police in the UK. 3. Sir Basil Thomson (deceased) - an historical addition, Thomson served as an Assistant Commissioner with Scotland Yard. 4. A.C.Baantjer (deceased) - served with the Dutch Police. So, today our 4 new members above join the Squad, now making us 76 in number! 36 American, 19 British, 8 Australian, 3 Finnish, 2 Canadian, 2 New Zealanders, 1 French, 1 Bahamian, 1 Norwegian, 1 Italian, 1 Czech, and 1 Dutch. I'll keep adding more as I come across them, and if you know of any others please feel free to drop me a line. Check out The Squad: Also: Cops Writing Crime And please remember, my list is only for CRIME FICTION - not all the true crime and/or memoir writing by cops and ex-cops that's out there (as good as so much of that is). Cheers, ABP |
