High-flying American cop Bill Hixon has been brought in from Miami to take over as Chief Constable of the East Lincolnshire Police Force, in the decidedly less glamorous English town of Boston. Chief Constable Hixon's new job is to tackle the county's terrible crime figures and make spending cuts – and from the outset, he is not here to make friends.
Despite being supremely well-educated and well-qualified, with a first-class degree in Criminology, a Masters in Psychopathology, and a doctorate in Statistical Mapping, brash American Bill Hixon has ended up in deepest Lincolnshire in an attempt to flee painful events on the other side of the Atlantic.
