By the time John 'Canoe Man' Darwin walked into a London police station in December 2007 and uttered the immortal words, 'I think I am a missing person', Tony had gone from a fresh-faced 'bobby on the beat' to Head of Cleveland Police's Murder Team. Thirty years of hunting thieves, killers and every type of criminal in between, nothing catapulted him in front of the worldwide media like John and Anne Darwin. Now retired, he has had four novels published in his Dark Tides thriller series.brbr
