“Not guilty lads!”

On December 10, 1987, a man bursts out of the Brighton court room to inform the gathered crowd: his brother, Russell Bishop, has just been found not guilty of the double murder of two 9-year-old girls. There is just one problem: the jury has made a terrible mistake. Letting Bishop walk free will put an entire community in grave danger—and he would have gotten away if it wasn’t for a courageous 7 year-old who will step up to avenge the infamous Babes in the Wood murders.
