The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations Bristol, 1979. An attacker roams the streets… Young women are warned not to go out alone… Enter the Decoys. ?For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting. In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history. The book Decoy by Robert Murphy is a gripping autobiography that delves into the dark world of sexual abuse and harassment, showcasing the bravery of young law enforcement officers. It's a top-notch non-fiction that uncovers the social implications of such heinous crimes. For fans of David Wilson (Murder at Home), Gregg Olsen (The Amish Wife), Carol Ann Lee (The Murders at White House Farm), Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings), and John E. Douglas (The Killer Across the Table). HarperCollins 2024
