About the Book

When newly promoted police superintendent Kevin O'Riley fears for his mind he discovers that far from becoming insane: ancestral spirits from the very land itself are reaching out to him in this modern grail myth set against the popular backdrop of old-fashioned 1970's style policing. Monty Python meets 'Life on Mars' in a modern tale of personal transformation and self-realization In this hilarious account of the adventures of the weirdest bunch of Coppers in the 1970's Merseyside Police: tragedy, pathos and real psychological insight mix with crime-fighting. Set between 1976 and 1978 this is policing as it was in the 'golden age' before political correctness. Written by a former Merseyside Police Officer from the 1970's and 1980's who is now a Jungian psychotherapist and built around real people and events: powerful characters and multi-level plot lines entertain from beginning to end.This is the extraordinary tale of an ordinary man who against the backdrop of policing in the 1970's battles against dark forces both in the world and in the mind, in a tale of personal transformation through the modern quest for the Holy Grail set into the living mythology of the land itself.Volume one of The Oxfords Blues Trilogy: described by British film and television producer Colin McKeown (The Bill, Liverpool One, Thief Takers, and Liam) as: "Vast, deep and philosophical, a story for Everyman. "

Review :
Oxford Blues by Tom Stevens Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I travelled back in time to the 1970s. The characters are all so real: A colourful bunch, comical, sometimes pathetic but brilliant fun. O'Riley is the main character. A troubled but likeable Police Officer. His journey through the book is fraught with all manner of difficulties. The book combines touching human stories with the more unusual. Throw in a bit of witchcraft, a touch of the paranormal and a large dose of exciting Police drama. The ingredients of a true masterpiece. Couldn't put it down. Very different from anything I have read before. Vicky Turner amazon.co.uk
