Well of Sorrow

Constable Tony Lodge is no ordinary beat bobby. Tasked with patrolling the streets of 1970s South Yorkshire, he finds himself confronting not only petty crime but domestic violence, poverty, addiction, and the invisible burdens that haunt working-class lives. This compelling memoir sheds light on the emotional toll of policing — and the compassion, grit, and quiet bravery needed to serve a struggling community. For fans of Blue: A Memoir and Beyond the Tape.
