It's 1956, and the Berkshire Constabulary has never had a female detective. That is, until bright and ambitious WPC Gwen Crockford passes Detective Training School with flying colours… After five years serving as one of Britain's first policewomen, Gwen swaps crime prevention for detection. From attending murder scenes and post-mortems, to investigating sex crimes and arson, her police work is exhilarating and challenging in equal measure. Gwen is sharp, quick to learn, and considered an asset to the CID - until, that is, the unwelcome arrival of a sexist DS and the traumatizing death of child force her to reevaluate the career she love. Written by her daughter Ruth, this is the story of a real-life female detective constable as she carves out her place in a man's world.
