When a top British police chief arrived in Australia to take charge of one of the world's most corrupt forces and also run security for the 2000 Olympic Games, he was thrilled by the challenge of the job.

The following six years saw triumph, betrayal, Byzantine politics, and unprecedented public support and unrelenting media attacks as he battled for full control of the NSW Police Service against almost fanatical resistance to change.

Finally, the truth can be revealed about Peter Ryan's pay rise, the London job, the Olympics, the Cabramatta debacle, the bizarre legal machinations that led to the end of his 41-year-old police career and his fears for the future of democracy in Australia. (back cover)
