Introduction

First published as a collection of blogs raising concerns about police reforms, The Rest Is Silence led to J.J. Patrick's two year fight against the Metropolitan Police Service and one of the most extraordinary examples of whistleblowing in the history of policing.

With Patrick prevented from speaking to the public much of what happened took place behind closed doors, the way Scotland Yard likes it, but there are times they simply pick a fight with the wrong person.

In this definitive edition, Patrick lays the old skeletons to rest for good.
