Susan and Simon Galloway don't need the latest crime statistics, doctored by the politicians, to tell them what is happening on the streets of their own neighbourhood. The Galloways have lost faith in "the law", the Criminal Justice System. Everyone knows that the delinquents are getting away with it, again and again - muggings, thefts, burglaries, vandalising cars and brutal beatings.
One powerfully placed figure has seen enough. His Honour Judge Marcus Byron heads a "conspiracy" of those resolved to reform the system. Massively popular with the general public, handsome and flamboyant, Britain's most senior black judge has powerful enemies. The vested interests recognise the threat he presents. And they know that Judge Byron is flawed.
