This is the unique and personal story written by the great grandson
of a former Victorian beat 'Bobby' who progressed through the ranks
to eventually become the very first Royal Detective. James Wood, a
former 'sharp shooter' in Queen Victoria's mighty Army of the
Empire, joined Manchester City Police force to become the youngest
ever Superintendent in their history - and was also a highly
acclaimed 'thief taker, ' something of a bounty-hunter. For many
years around the turn of the century, he helped protect a number of
prominent VIP's and several visiting members of the Royal Family,
in particular, the Prince and Princess of Wales, during a time of
political unrest and specific threats against the Monarchy from
'Dynamiters, Terrorists, Foreign Agents & Agitators.' James was
also involved in a host of other memorable events relating to the
development of Manchester United, the daring and dramatic Daily
Mail air race, and major social reforms. This book commemorates the
90th anniversary of his death and reveals his secret diary notes,
news cuttings and personal photographs from a memorable time long
forgotten.
