The Bent Copper. Simon Pinchbeck.

Simon was a 'copper' who had a career change and became a criminal, then had a life change and became a Christian. After 23 years in the Metropolitan Police, Simon left after receiving a 'not guilty' verdict on an assault charge. He then became obsessed with money and so entered into a life of crime. But after being ripped off for a large amount of money by his new found colleagues, he was left the lowest he had been in his life, facing prison or even death. That was when God threw him a lifeline...
