1972 Edgar Award for Best Novel (nominee)
"Sir, You Bastard" by G. F. Newman was first published in the UK in 1970 by W. H. Allen in hardback (when it was a bestseller) and was reprinted in a special open market edition in August 1971, subsequently followed by a paperback print run in October 1971 by New English Library. It is also known as 'Rogue Cop'. Storyline: Story: Loyalty, integrity, conscience & honesty: words you would associate with your typical policeman. Words that mean nothing to DCI Terry Sneed. When you are really ambitious like Sneed-you don't worry about minor details like ethics. At 26, he was in a unique position in the C.I.D; seven years of lies, violence, deceit and bribery had taken him to the top. But he wanted more! Greed-for power and money-leads him to take a bribe to help a criminal and brings him to the very edge of disaster. In the 36 hours left to him, Sneed draws on all his crooked resources in a desperate attempt to save himself. Just 36 hours
