With the Olympics looming less than a year after the riots of August 2011, former policeman Chris Hobbs takes us on a fictionalised, policing scenario where all does not go according to plan. Street gangs, right wing groups, Islamic extremists, irate fathers, Occupy activists and flash mobbers together with rebellious, frontline police officers combine in a volatile Olympic mix that illustrates many of the complex social problems faced by society today . This thought provoking novella will make uncomfortable reading for politicians and senior police officers but hopefully will remain what it is, namely just fiction.
