Mark Robertson, a resident of West Moors, is the author of the compelling true crime book From Handbags to Hand Grenades.
From Handbags to Hand Grenades is the true story of Kathryn West. A front-line officer in London’s Metropolitan Police force, who served and protected the people of Britain, during some of the most historical and life changing events of our time.
The book follows her career between 1990 and 2020 and includes significant news stories which shook the nation. From the Tavistock Square bombing and attacks on Westminster Bridge, through to the fire at Grenfell Tower. True grit is equally balanced with humorous outtakes of politicians’ lost handbags, visits to the White House and dancing at the Notting Hill Carnival.
Sadness and happiness, lies and deceit. Your eyes will be opened wide with what goes on behind the closed doors of a prison cell. The best and worst of humanity can be seen all in a day’s work. As this is the story of what really happens behind the thin blue line.
Published by Austin Macauley Publishers, available in paperback with an RRP of £9.99 or E-Book for £3.50 – Audiobook version coming soon.
