When Tony Martin shot and killed one of the burglars breaking into his isolated Norfolk farmhouse, he touched a nerve in middle-England's heart. He fought back...
The farmer was convicted of murder, later to be reduced to manslaughter by the Court of Appeal. A wave of support swept the country and spread all over the world. Martin became a hero to all those who believed in defending their life and property even if it meant taking the law into their own hands.
In A Right to Kill? John McVicar goes behind the scenes of chequebook journalism to examine the gritty reality behind the icon. With exclusive access to Martin, his friends and the charity who orchestrated the farmer’s appeal, what he uncovers strips away the myth that has built up around Martin and reveals some shocking and uncomfortable truths. Darkly funny and frequently explosive, this book sheds an entirely new light on a case firmly embedded in the nation’s consciousness. An essential read that will make us re-examine a controversial and divisive issue.
