The playscript of the Stephen Lawrence Enquiry

Stephen Lawrence was stabbed to death in a racist attack by a gang of white youths but the police investigation failed to provide sufficient evidence to convict anyone.

Based on the harrowing transcripts of the public inquiry, this is a dramatic reconstruction of the hearings which reflected the national outcry at the police's mishandling of the case.

"This book should be on every syllabus ... demonstrates what the abstract concept we call racism means in all its brutal and potentially murderous reality."

"One of the highlights of my reviewing life"
Michael Billington, The Guardian
