The first time I met Harold Challenor, he frisked me for weapons - I was ten years old. Bent is the explosive story of the rise and fall of SAS commando, and notorious Detective Sergeant, Harold 'Tanky' Challenor. During the Second World War, Challenor was parachuted behind enemy lines into Italy and France, performing remarkable feats of bravery. In the grimy underbelly of 1960s Soho, he was a ferocious and controversial presence, mediating between factions of club owners and racketeers, and cultivating informers. But just how far will he go to break the protection gang that has a grip on his manor? It can be a fine line that divides hero and villain.

Our MC is a real life “bent” copper who haunted London‘s Soho in the 60s. Having family from, and growing up in the places mentioned in this book, our MC talks like a parody. He‘s like a cross, I say he‘s a cross between Foghorn Leghorn and a demented Charlie Drake. The villains put me in mind of Cliff Richard and his Summer Holiday gang. There‘s a parallel story of our MC behind enemy lines in Italy during the war. Both threads are pedestrian.
