Description
The police killing of Christopher Alder was one of the most notorious deaths in custody in the UK, involving the destruction of evidence, a whitewash of an investigation and illegal surveillance. Christopher's sister Janet
has been relentlessly fighting for justice for decades, and fearlessly holds the UK's state institutions to account in this extraordinary book.This book will be both a probing expose of what went on, based on exhaustive documentary evidence, as well as the personal story of Janet's fight to uncover the truth.Author Bio
