Six months on from the murders of Kenny Hughes and Harry Whittle, their families are still waiting to hear when the killers will be brought to trial. The end of the COVID-19 Lockdown and the re-opening of Crown Courts offers hope, but summer turns to Autumn and Christmas approaches with no end to their ordeal in sight. Everyone is searching for the elusive post-COVID "new normal", but how can the lives of Gavin and Chrissie Hughes or Yvonne and Trevor Whittle return to any kind of normality when their families have been ripped apart and those responsible are still walking free? This final part of the Kenny Hughes Memorial Trilogy traces their long weary path to justice, but does this bring closure? That's something else altogether! This is the Large Print Edition

As the crowd starts to disperse, one of their number drops to the ground unconscious. All attempts to revive him fail. Medical examination suggests that he died of a drug overdose, but was it self-administered or was he murdered in the crush?
