Publisher's Summary
As seen on Foxtel's Logie winning The Good Cop and Channel 7's Homicide with Ron Iddles
'A - Assume nothing. B - Believe nothing. C - Check everything.' Ron Iddles
In an incredible twenty-five year career as a homicide detective, Ron Iddles' conviction rate was 99%. Yet that only partly explains why Iddles is known to cops and crims alike as 'The Great Man'.
Tough, inventive and incorruptible, stoic in the face of senseless horror yet unafraid to shed tears for a victim, Ron has applied his country cunning and city savvy to over 320 homicide cases - some of them the most infamous, compelling and controversial crimes in the nation's history. To the victims of crime, Ron is both a shoulder to cry on and an avenging angel.
Ron Iddles never gave up on a 'lost' cause. He became a regular on the nightly news - the dogged face of Australian justice. Working long hours, dodging bullets, chasing leads and outwitting killers, Ron would tell his teams: 'The answer is just one call away'. And in 2015, that belief saw him crack Victoria's oldest unsolved homicide, yet another remarkable feat in a life devoted to keeping the public safe.
This is the extraordinary inside story of a real crime crusader. Ron Iddles. The Good Cop.

Valuable learning
It was a great reminder to treat people with respect. Respect does not mean that people who commit crimes are no longer accountable ... and treated any lessor than the next person. Enjoyed listening to his approach and how his interactions had an impact on all sorts of folks.

Great story - but…
reads a bit like an obituary initially. Well worth a listen if you can get past the style

Not all hero’s wear capes
Wow... I couldn’t put it down. This book is the story of Ron’s upbringing, joining Vic Pol and his incredible career with the Homicide Squad. As he told his story, I was amazed at his level of commitment, kindness and compassion to the Police Force, victims and their families and suspects. The Good Cop is the perfect title - Ron Iddles is definitely one in a million.
