Author: Compton, D. G.

Near future sf novel.''Justice City is the punishment block, the Strangeways of the future... a woman-killer dies in the first stage of induction, a drugging process known as thresholding. Our cop, Alec Duncan, is made to feel like an outsider, though as a black Scot he's used to that. The possibilities are satisfyingly various: the edgy, intelligent thrills are constant'' (Oxford Times) ''remarkable for the unswerving ferocity of its depiction of a milieu in which small-minded intolerance is given full rein.
