Memoir
“Locked in a Cupboard” is my story — the one they never wanted you to hear.
I was a respected and highly thought of police officer. I believed in justice. But when I spoke out about corruption and wrongdoing, the system I served turned on me. I was falsely accused, betrayed by colleagues I once trusted, and left to face a brutal fight for my sanity, left alone, “locked in a cupboard” out of sight, out of mind by the very institution I gave my life to.
This book isn’t just about what happened to me — it’s about what CAN happen to anyone at any point in their life inside an institution where truth is inconvenient and loyalty is weaponised. It’s about the crushing mental toll of being isolated, disbelieved, and driven to the brink.
I produced this book because it matters. Institutional corruption flourishes in silence. False allegations destroy lives. And the mental health impact of betrayal is too often dismissed or ignored.
“Locked in a Cupboard” is a raw, unfiltered account of survival — through corruption, lies, and the darkest corners of the mind. If you care about truth, justice, and the unseen human cost of systemic failure, my story will stay with you long after the final page.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I bought the eBook on Amazon and was completely gripped from the very first pages. This is a powerful, intriguing, and unflinchingly honest account that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The writing is raw and compelling, making it impossible not to feel the weight of what the author experienced.
Going to be a brilliant read by the sounds of it! Looking forward to it.
Really looking forward to this one!
