Christine Nixon was one of the first women in Australia to move into operational policing and ultimately became Chief Commissioner of Police in Victoria. At the peak of her policing career, her battles were with more than a line-up of criminals, there was bureaucracy, corruption and terrorism to fight, as well as enemies within her own ranks.
In this account of her, she writes openly about the challenges and rewards of working in one of the toughest jobs in the country and the later controversy surrounding the Victorian Bushfire Recovery Authority.
