Former Scotland Yard undercover detective Peter Bleksley reveals the gritty reality of infiltrating criminal gangs and the dangers of murder investigations.
Peter Bleksley brings The Makings of a Murderer - The Undercover Detective to Exeter Corn Exchange on Wednesday 25 November, an evening that takes you inside the hidden side of murder investigations. Bleksley was a founding member of Scotland Yard's undercover unit, and he's spent more than a decade working deep inside criminal gangs. He's posed as everything from drug dealers to contract killers, and he draws on that work to show the parts of these cases that rarely make it into the public eye.
He doesn't just talk about the cases he worked on, though. He recounts the gritty reality of infiltrating gangs and the terrifying experience of becoming the target of a murder plot himself — a turn that forced him into witness protection and brought his career as a detective to an abrupt end. If you've seen him on Channel 4's Hunted, this is the story behind the screen.
