Michael Hames' compelling memoirs open with the carnage of the 1983 Harrods bomb, which ironically did much to further his career in the police force because of the bravery and resolution he displayed in the aftermath; it also coincided with his second divorce. Three marriages and a heart attack would seem a high price to pay for the rigours of public service but such is the policeman's lot. Hames' long career culminated in a five-year term as Head of Scotland Yard's Obscene Publications Branch (OPB)--aka the Dirty Squad--and a grapple with the tentacular world of hardcore pornography. His personal mission was to deliver a wake-up call about the prevalence of child pornography; by the time of his retirement in 1994, he'd succeeded in redefining the role of the OPB so that 90 per cent of its activity was directed against paedophiles.A sketchy personal history serves only as the skeleton on which to hang fleshy anecdotes. Tales of arresting Boy George for drugs, a friendship with Spike Milligan (originating in dog excrement, so to speak), and the obligatory MP in a brothel story are solid saloon bar patter, but the bulk of the narrative involves sex offenders, a depressingly familiar clothes line of dirty washing. Cases such as the man who intended filming a baby put in a tank of piranhas are too horrendous to contemplate, but more complicated ones, such as Operation Spanner, when a gro

What drives one person to become obsessed with another - someone they may never even have met? And what happens when the obsessions of unbalanced misfits, desperate loners and aggrieved ex-partners spiral out of control? Stalking is on the increase - and it isn't only celebrities who become the targets of irrational individuals. Men and women with everyday jobs who lead ordinary lives can just as easily become someone else's obsession. Each year, hundreds of people fall victim to terrifying harrassment by people they may have never met. Richard Gallagher has researched this disturbing phenomenon to provide a serious investigation into this unsettling but intriguing crime. Featuring interviews with victims, police, psychologists - and those who "stalk stalkers" - he has unearthed accounts of obsession and delusion.
