‪I've been consulting @gbpoliceadvisor.bsky.social
for my latest novel (a political/legal thriller 1980s). I first talked though my outline with Graham a while back and he just critiqued the full manuscript.

Unparalleled knowledge on anything featuring police/Government!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 🌟🌟

As with my first novel, THE COMPANY SHE KEEPS has real people in the background casting their shadows across the plot. In this case, the murderous activities of Peter Sutcliffe feature large in the lives of my characters. geni.us/TheCompanySh...
