About

P.C. George Dixon is a long-serving traditional copper who is due to retire shortly. He takes a new recruit under his aegis and introduces him to the easy-going night beat. Dixon is a classic ordinary hero but also anachronistic, unprepared and unable to answer the violence of the 1950s.
George Dixon prepares for a quiet retirement, only to find his old-fashioned methods failing against a new breed of violent street crime. This post-war police procedural captures the friction between a fading era of community policing and a hardening urban reality.
