 Tantalising, but only a taste November 27, 2008
This is interesting, but only as far as it goes. As The Author(s) state, it is only a 'snap shot', and both from the point of view of Pearson's upbringing, and of his law enforcement career, it leaves one desparately wanting more - more detail, more facts, more argument. Because it only touches on Pearson's many interesting cases and postings, it makes him look rather one dimensional, even a bit of a Boy Scout - which I am sure, by dint of the jobs he has done, he is not. He doesn't get, or take, the chance, to expand on his views on fighting crime - organised crime, money laundering, or expand his views on the drug culture that seems to have got a grip of sectors of Scottish Society, or of his attempts to overcome the political and administrative battles faced by those who want to get on with the job, rather than 'spin' the problem. Perhaps he can put his hard earned retirement to use (or another use) by giving a more detailed and in depth account of the old cases, and his views on how an organisatio like the SCDEA should be allowed to develop. An unsatiated, teased appetite always causes disappointment
