Verdict of Ruin

In the shadow of Alderney's brutal Fort Carrion prison, a lawsuit unveils state-sanctioned horrors. Disbarred attorney Elias Vane sees not a case, but a weapon. His target is Julian Croft, a charismatic predator who dismantles vulnerable women for sport, driving them to suicide. As Elias embeds himself in Julian's world, the prison case becomes a mirror reflecting a society rotten to its core. This is the story of a man whose heroism isn't a shining crusade, but a stubborn, fastidious refusal to let one more monster walk free, armed only with the brittle, obsessive cleanliness of his own fractured moral code.
