The Thick Blue Line II Jayne Gooding

Jayne Gooding's harrowing, painful, empathetic and remarkable fictional sequel continues into the 1980s and 90s. A time of rave culture, football hooligans, hard drugs and the AIDS epidemic. Lucy Penfold, now a Police Sergeant, transfers from Devon to Sussex following the breakdown of her unexpected, vibrant, delightful yet intense relationship with Pippa. Can Lucy deal with the deeply rooted sexism and overcome the belief, by some of her Senior Officers, that female officers were there to simply make up the numbers? Will Lucy survive her battle to do the right thing and break the unwritten code amongst police officers while discovering that Pippa, now bitter and resentful, is in Sussex and plotting against her?
