A gruff, no-nonsense detective from a bygone era imparts his wisdom on the art of policing. DCI Gene Hunt, the iconic star of 'Life on Mars', presents a guide to policing as it was in the 1970s. The book is structured into ten distinct sections, offering insights into interrogation techniques, the nuances of undercover operations, essential driving skills, and the proper dress code for officers of the time.

The book is likely to appeal to fans of the television series 'Life on Mars' and those with an interest in nostalgic portrayals of 1970s policing. The premise suggests a blend of practical advice, albeit from a dated perspective, and the characteristic humor associated with the character of DCI Gene Hunt. It offers a glimpse into a specific era of law enforcement, likely focusing on the more robust and less politically correct methods of the time. The reception would probably center on its authenticity to the character and its entertainment value as a tie-in to the popular show.
