Blue: Keeping the Peace and Falling to Pieces By: John Sutherland

Author: John Sutherland
Narrated by: Charles Armstrong

John Sutherland joined the Met Police in 1992, having dreamed of being a police officer since his teens. Rising quickly through the ranks, and compelled by the opportunity to make a real difference in London’s local neighbourhoods, he worked across the capital, experiencing firsthand the enormous satisfaction as well as the endless trauma that a life in blue can bring. There were remarkable, career-defining moments: reaching out to teenagers travelling along the wrong path, commanding armed sieges, rescuing victims of domestic violence from desperate situations, saving lives, and seeing dangerous people taken off the streets. But for every case that ended well, there were others that ended in desperate sadness, as he bore the responsibility for the safety of hundreds of thousands of Londoners on his shoulders.

In early 2013, whilst working as the Borough Commander for Southwark in South London, John suffered a major breakdown and a consequent battle with crippling depression. After a career spent policing the streets and racing to be first at the scenes of crimes and catastrophes, he found himself in pieces, unable to put one foot in front of the other.

Blue is a memoir of crime and calamity, of adventure and achievement, of friendship and failure, of laughter and loss, of the best and the worst of humanity, of serious illness and slow recovery. It offers an immensely moving and important insight into what it is to be a police officer in 21st-century Britain.

In a small town full of secrets, everyones a suspect.
When a body is discovered, bled dry on a beach, the sleepy seaside town 
of Weston-super-Mare wakes up to a nightmare. For Detective Inspector 
Louise Blackwell, recently transferred to the town she last saw as a 
child, its her first case on the job.
The victim - Veronica Lloyd, an elderly volunteer at a local church 
- has puncture wounds to her hands. When a priest is found killed in 
a nearby church in a similarly grisly condition, it becomes clear that 
Blackwell is dealing with a righteous and bloody murderer. But the victims 
arent random. The killer has a vendetta and is hell-bent on exacting 
twisted revenge for a dark secret dating back years - and there are 
more murders planned.
As the body count rises, Blackwell faces a race against time to solve 
the mystery of the murderers identity and put an end to the carnage. 
She thought she knew Weston, but the town holds more secrets than shed 
ever have imagined. Who can she trust and who knows more than they are 
letting on?
She must discover the crimes that unite the victims - before its too 
late.
