About this book
The more they talked about youth crime and the spate of gun and knife
killings in their area, the more frustrated and helpless Terry, Barrington
and Jerry; three long time friends feel. They realise that the ‘authorities’
are only paying lip service to these problems. Just like them, it is the
topic of conversations, but it seems that everyone is waiting for someone
else to act.
Barrington, the Prosecuting Lawyer, sees this first hand in his practice as
so many are let off with simple smack on the wrists. He begins to realise
that something more radical needs to be done to protect the community.
Terry, the youth worker, becomes more and more frustrated as his efforts to
‘save’ young people in the community continue to fail amidst the fear of
crime. The unprovoked attack on one of his charges forces him to re-consider
his methods.
Jerry is a successful business man and player, who is having problems
relating with his teenaged son.
These three friends decide to do something about the problems and set
themselves up as a vigilante group. The Star Chamber is formed to ‘regulate’
and ‘reform’ those causing harm to the community. They utilise Ezekiel 25:17
from the Bible as their mantra and charter as justification for their
actions.
They set off on a ferocious spree to rid the streets of those they perceive
as causing the problems, leading to a brutal and lethal conclusion none of
them are prepared for.
This stunning and startling novel from the pen of A L James looks into the
world of street crime and how it affects all in the community and asks – Is
this what it is going to take to keep our streets and youths safe.
