ABOUT
This is the story of a man's search for justice in New Zealand.

Ralph Trimmer, 75, Northland Harbour Board Chairman and one of the most respected public-body leaders in New Zealand, was charged by the police and Crown Law Officers with 24 charges, including 8 counts of deceiving the Reserve Bank, committing theft, forgery and uttering.

In many of these charges, there was no evidence whatever, and in others the evidence consisted of assumptions and tenuous inferences, the falsity of which will become obvious from the pages and follow.

This book is the story of what led up to Trimmer's legal difficulties and an attempt to find the truth of the charges laid against him.

This book serves as a warning to men and women in politics, in the legal profession and in local body service - a warning of what can go wrong.

Includes monochrome images.
