Sinopsis

Meet the real Line of Duty âäó undercover team in this previously untold and gripping story of how a Northern Irish terrorist and murderer and one of his followers, were caught in an audacious and brilliantly executed undercover sting on the English mainland, codenamed, Operation George.In 2006 at Belfast Crown Court, William James Fulton, a principal in the outlawed Loyalist Volunteer Force, was jailed for life and sentenced to a minimum of 28 years after the longest trial in Northern IrelandâÇÖs legal history.Fulton was an early suspect in the Rosemary Nelson killing. Following the murder of the prominent human rights lawyer, he fled to the United States and, with help from the FBI in collusion with the British police, he was deported. On his arrival at Heathrow, Fulton âÇÖwalked through an open door,âÇÖ a Lewis Carrol-like euphemism for an invitation created by the covert team, only to disappear âÇÖdown the rabbit holeâÇÖ on accepting the invitation.That âÇÖrabbit holeâÇÖ led to an alternative world: an environment created and controlled by the elite covert team and only inhabited by the undercover officers and their targets. The subterfuge encouraged the terrorist targets into believing Fulton was working for a Plymouth-based âÇÖcriminal firmâÇÖ over a period spanning almost two years. In that time, over fifty thousand hours of conversations between the âÇÖfirmâÇÖ members were secretly recorded and used to bring the killer to justice.This unique story is told by former undercover officer Mark Dickens who was part of an elite team of undercover detectives who took part in âÇÖOperation George,âÇÖ one of the most remarkable covert policing operations the world has ever known. You wonâÇÖt know him under that name nor the many aliases he adopted as an undercover police officer infiltrating organised crime gangs.Together in âÇÖOperation George,âÇÖ with pioneering Operation Julie undercover officer and bestselling author, Stephen Bentley, they have written a gripping account of a unique story reminiscent of the premise of âÇÖThe StingâÇÖ film, and the âÇÖBloodlandsâÇÖ setting, combining a true-crime page-turner with a fascinating insight into early 21st-century covert policing.The publisher wishes to make clear by using theáLine of Dutyâäó, there is no implied association with theáLine of Dutyáseries nor World Productions Ltd and the trademark is attributed to World Productions Ltd.
