Within the Police Service there are cultures and subcultures which have been exposed as needing to be eradicated by both the McPherson Report and more recently, the Casey Review. But the subcultures have not been eroded, and are unlikely to be so. Eugene's Tale is a story which examines those subcultures from the inside with Detective Inspector Eugene Elphick being accused of a criminal offence, and the reader will have to make up their own mind as to whether he is guilty or not as the story progresses. It also shows how destructive the culture and subcultures are, not only to serving officers, but to their families, too.
