If you've ever read any of the CSI Eddie Collins novels, and wondered what a particular word or phrase means, this is the book for you.

You might have noticed that in Eddie’s books he swears a little bit, and he uses words that might not be common or everyday for a lot of people. I’m aware that his books are read worldwide, and not everyone in those far-flung reaches will understand some of the Yorkshire slang he uses.

So this book is here for them: it’s here to entertain those who want to know what those slang words used in any of the (currently) seven CSI Eddie Collins books mean. The words he uses are a mixture of Leeds slang, Yorkshire Slang, English slang, and random bits and pieces of useless information alongside the meanings or definitions for certain swear words, and police acronyms, too.

I should point out that all opinions are his – nothing to do with me, m’lud.
