A hard hitting account of a beat copper's life on the streets of Swansea in the 60's, 70's and 80's, based on the author's own experience. Fresh from his time in the Royal Marines and a secondment to Bletchley Park, Probabtioner Constable Frank Dix is determined to make a career for himself in the Swansea Borough police and nothing will stop him.. NO STEP BACK. Gene Hunt from Life on Mars is a softie compared to Frank Dix. Full of humour and grit, this is a police memoir with a difference. They don't make policemen like Frank Dix anymore, more's the pity. Is this fact or fiction? Alan Lloyd, with the masterful assistance of accomplished writer Nigel Williams, tells a tale of life in the Swansea police in days of old, when the town was a tough seaport. As both Alan and Nigel are former police officers, this book is lent more than a hint of realism - fact or fiction? I will leave you to decide, but one thing is for sure, this is a book you will struggle to put down until the very end. NO STEP BACK was the inspiration for the Frank Dix series of crime thrillers by Nigel C. Williams: A HARD PLACEA COLD PLACENigel C. Williams is a lecturer in fine art, having served as a police officer in both the Metropolitan Police from 1981-1984 and South Wales from 1984-1995.During his service he was a VIP and Special Escort Group armed, advanced driver.In 1995, he was struck by a stolen vehicle and fractured his spine.He studied fine art at Swansea whilst he recovered from his injury and achieved a first class honours degree.
