I'm not a fan of such police type stories so am not the best to judge. For me it was monotone & same old same old. No depth to the story as the personalities of the characters was not built up. More like a factual blow by blow of events. Did show how police learn to see the bad in everyone, & how they can easily become synical. Narrator was very good.

Dated (obviously as written 1970's) Bland
