This huge and complex operation is almost unbelievable, the bravery
and courage, the risks, the challenges - it creates an epic tale
that would rival any fictional thriller or detective novel. -
NetGalley UK Review Meet the real Line of Duty (TM) undercover team
in this previously untold and gripping story of how a Northern
Irish terrorist and murderer and one of his followers, were caught
in an audacious and brilliantly executed undercover sting on the
English mainland, codenamed, Operation George. In 2006 at Belfast
Crown Court, William James Fulton, a principal in the outlawed
Loyalist Volunteer Force, was jailed for life and sentenced to a
minimum of 28 years after the longest trial in Northern Ireland's
legal history. Fulton was an early suspect in the Rosemary Nelson
killing. Following the murder of the prominent human rights lawyer,
he fled to the United States and, with help from the FBI in
collusion with the British police, he was deported. On his arrival
at Heathrow, Fulton 'walked through an open door,' a Lewis
Carrol-like euphemism for an invitation created by the covert team,
only to disappear 'down the rabbit hole' on accepting the
invitation. That 'rabbit hole' led to an alternative world: an
environment created and controlled by the elite covert team and
only inhabited by the undercover officers and their targets. The
subterfuge encouraged the terrorist targets into believing Fulton
was working for a Plymouth-based 'criminal firm' over a period
spanning almost two years. In that time, over fifty thousand hours
of conversations between the 'firm' members were secretly recorded
and used to bring the killer to justice. This unique story is told
by former undercover officer Mark Dickens who was part of an elite
team of undercover detectives who took part in 'Operation George,'
one of the most remarkable covert policing operations the world has
ever known. You won't know him under that name nor the many aliases
he adopted as an undercover police officer infiltrating organised
crime gangs. Together in 'Operation George,' with pioneering
Operation Julie undercover officer and bestselling author, Stephen
Bentley, they have written a gripping account of a unique story
reminiscent of the premise of 'The Sting' film, and the
'Bloodlands' setting, combining a true-crime page-turner with a
fascinating insight into early 21st-century covert policing. The
