Joe Karam: Bain and Beyond

(Reed $24.95)

Review: Gilbert Wong

Joe Karam has exercised every citizen's right to put the justice system under scrutiny.

For more than four years Karam has devoted his life to the freeing of David Bain, jailed for the slaying of his family in Dunedin.

He is not a lawyer, journalist or academic. By implication this is not his career, yet he has put huge emotional and financial investment into this.

With this book Karam and Bain supporters reach their final legal recourse, an appeal to the Governor-General.
