Tom Pierce, an artist trained at Hornsey Art College and going on to work in a London studio, felt the need for change: joining the Herefordshire Constabulary led to new adventures and a wealth of rich experiences. After setting up a television unit in the early days of police and media involvement, the world of serious crime, including murders, became a regular occurrence during his working life. Armed with a large camera and pack, he filmed all manner of situations, some of which became cause célèbre in press and Parliament. Retirement and tragic family loss gave him the urge to write; the words kept flowing and what better subject to draw on than the wealth of his own personal experiences.
