From the sister of Christopher Alder, a damning account of injustice in the UK police system. Join Janet to discuss her new book – Defiance!

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 is a probing exposé of what went on, based on exhaustive documentary evidence, as well as the personal story of Janet's fight to uncover the truth.
