Intelligent debate about the current state of the English legal system is

David Rose (Jonathan Cape, £17.99, ISBN 0 224 03744 7) is essential
reading. But don’t keep it on the bedside table—these tales of
miscarriages of justice and corruption at the highest levels will give you
nightmares. A good companion volume to Will Hutton’s The State We’re In.
