| book description |

Winner of 'Best Book' and 'Impact for Change' True Crime Awards 2025 The shocking true story of one of Britainâ€™s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations Bristol, 1979. An attacker roams the streetsâ€¦ Young women are warned not to go out aloneâ€¦ Enter the Decoys. ï»¿For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the â€˜Clifton Rapistâ€™, and public pressure was mounting. In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers â€“ some aged just 18 â€“ put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history.
