Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 336


Cameron Hardiman lived a life most young boys could only dream of. Every morning he put on a navy blue police flight suit, grabbed his flight helmet, and prepared to work on the police helicopter. He could be called to anything during a shift, to search for a missing child, to pull an injured driver from a wrecked car, or a dangerous sea rescue. He saw his fair share of trauma and dealt with it like most coppers would: he quickly put each dangerous job out of his mind as soon as it was over. But one particular rescue in Bass Strait brought about a reckoning - and Cameron was never the same again. This is the brilliantly told, white-knuckle story of one cop learning every lesson the hard way - and coming to find out that being not quite bulletproof doesn't mean that you're not a good cop.

From a veteran cop.

Cameron writes brilliantly and his story is raw, confronting and most importantly, it is true. His book provides an insight into many aspects of policing and the impact of those experiences. I am a veteran police officer and can vouch for the accuracy of Cameron's story.
