We had been there for over 12 hours. The man was still 30 feet up a
tree, balancing on a branch directly over one of the main railway
lines out of one of the busiest train stations in the country. He
refused to talk to us, threatening to jump if we came too close. To
him, we were the enemy. My job was to preserve his life. The most
dangerous time in any negotiation is when you think you’re
winning. From kidnappings to terrorist incidents, violent armed
stand-offs to talking someone back from the ledge: all these make
up the day-to-day life of Nicky Perfect’s job as a crisis and
hostage negotiator. One of the first on the scene in situations
that most would run from, Nicky is deployed to defuse the most
volatile and fraught situations imaginable. After a decade on the
frontlines, confronting the extremes of human behaviour, these are
the stories and cases that have shaped a career spent on high
alert, where life often hangs in the balance. It’s about finding
yourself and following your passion, and of a life lived to help
others.
