Defeated by Justice is a work of historically accurate fiction that is an assimilation of true events, probable hearsay and possible conjecture, as experienced by the author.
Set against the backdrop of South Africa in the early 1990's. With Apartheid in its final throws and society in in turbulent transition from virtual dictatorship to democracy, Nicole Burger enters the South African Police Force, by necessity rather than design, she attempts to flee her own tempestuous and unsure personal circumstances.
Intelligent, but naive, she quickly has to learn to balance her morals with her need to survive, as she embarks on a self-discovering and often soul-searching journey in the employment of one of the last bastions of the Apartheid State.
Adaption becomes alteration and evolution becomes regression as she strains the boundaries of her sexuality and ethics in the sub-culture of this male dominated organisation. That is, until the system that she occasionally fails, eventually betrays and fails her, dramatically and completely.
