Drug crime, petty theft, assault and abuse; the actions of the criminal underbelly go unchecked - and the criminals themselves slip through loopholes in the law, escape punishment and continue to terrorise the weak and the vulnerable.But dissent is stirring. If the police cannot or will not act, who will do so? The judicial system may be a blunt instrument, but the force for retribution that is emerging in this Sussex community is a fine blade: fired by frustration, wielded in secrecy, and cutting to the quick. But does 'absolute power' corrupt? On the trail of the vigilante force, Police Sergeant Diane Ward is torn between the dictates of her training and the seduction of finally seeing justice served.A psychological thriller which challenges our contemporary notions of justice, The People Versus? leads the reader through a web of malice and morality, towards a final, confrontational twist. After three years in the Army and thirty-three years in various banking institutions, Brian Johnson turned to part-time club administration and taxi work. He has a highly developed sense of fair play, and here scrutinises the declining effectiveness of modern criminal justice. This book hopes to restore public confidence.
