It will soon become obvious to you avid 'detectives' that I was born and raised in West Sussex, which I love, and that I spent 33 years working for the Metropolitan Police all over London. I served with some great people and it was exciting while it lasted!
I joined the Force in 1966 and during my service I had numerous roles including working at Scotland Yard as a specialist detective targeting some of the country's most dangerous and violent criminals. I was privileged to work on some headline-grabbing crimes for which I received several Commendations including the Queen's Commendation.
When I retired from the 'Met', I spent a few years viewing CCTV and surveillance tapes for different Police Forces and then worked specifically for Sussex Police at Chichester.
Now I am fully retired from my police work, I have turned to a far safer occupation - 'Writing about what I know.'
My first book, 'An Urgent Murder' was published in 2018 under the pen name of Alex Winchester. See its details in 'Books'.
My second book, 'A Murderer's Legacy' was released in October 2021. See its details in 'Books'.
Both books can be bought from me at a discount via the 'Purchases' page.
'A Murderer's Legacy' is now available as an Audiobook from Amazon Audible.
