Dave Simpson is a copper in central Bristol in the 1970's. His early shift on a warm June morning started normally enough and he was collecting milk from a local dairy when his radio cackled into life. The events that followed changed his career and life and gave him the nickname of Skid.
Moved onto CID he investigates what should be a straight forward office burglary. Along with his new partner Stella, who was moved out of a Policewomen's Unit as a result of the Sex Discrimination Act, they begin to suspect corruption at a high level in the police service and local council. Eventually Dave is forced to investigate on his own until the investigation reaches a dramatic conclusion.

At the same time Dave is also trying to repair his broken marriage to Jill, a nursing Sister at the local A&E.
Skid Simpson is a fictional, mainly comic view of life as a copper in the 70's but with some serious undertones. Written by a copper who was there, some of the incidents described are based loosely on the authors experiences and knowledge of policing in Bristol in the 70's.
