Close Protection (CP) is renowned for its excellence in providing top level protection to many levels of society.

The First book in the Infinity Squared Series. Don't think. Just run. When what lies ahead is less fearful than what lies behind, and west-coast unknowns less terrifying than east-side tragedies, there is no choice other than the one through the window at the end of a third-floor police station corridor. Without another thought, the girl runs. Her jump will take her to the street below, to encounters with humanity that will both shock and save her, to the girl she becomes the one who knows how to fight, but also survive, even shine, in the darkest places. She does not go unnoticed. The mob boss, the ruler of Vegas, has seen her. But she is not ready to be seen. And this time there is no corridor, and no window.
I have always enjoyed the beauty around Wigan, the place I’ve spent all my life and I set myself a remit to fully discover our lovely town, and its surrounding areas. I’ve covered over 600 extremely enjoyable miles during this three-month period, discovering new pathways and experiences every day. During these exploratory walks, I became enthralled at the abundance of nature that thrives around the town and came across roe, fallow deer; weasel; hare and rabbit; and squirrel by the hundred. I saw and heard countless songbirds (including the elusive kingfisher), several varieties of waterfowl, and birds of prey (great crested grebe and marsh harriers among them). I was also really surprised by the number of thriving and well-stocked stables in the borough. Wigan has proved to be a great surprise and source of pleasure even to me, a resident of 65 years, and it still continues to be so. I hope you will eventually be of the same opinion.

After two false convictions and spending over 19 years locked up for crimes he did not commit, Foran s second conviction was quashed in 2013 but, alarmingly, compensation was refused and is still being fought for. Continuing his fight against his first conviction, it was eventually referred to the Court Of Appeal and this too was quashed on October 3rd, 2014. In their determination to convict him, the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad resorted to an unprecedented level of corruption and fraud. This corruption became endemic right to the top of the Force and into heart of the justice system until Lord Justice Leveson ordered the disbandment of the Squad. The events are written in candid detail and reveal disturbing evidence of corruption at the highest level.
