Fun short police procedural
The book is short, a couple of hours to read, but that’s why it’s a novelette. More important, it’s a good, easy read, and certainly keeps your attention.
Judge Dredd is involved in a nicely twisted serial killer case involving everyone’s least favourite people: journalists, politicians and an eerily accurate portrait of Donald Trump. But this isn’t the Dredd we know. He’s already well known, having been on the streets two years, but he’s not yet the legendary judge even chief judges give way to (and who’s killed two of them). He’s still a bit sententious, not to say prim. However, he develops through the book, and by the end we can see the glimmerings of the great lawman to come.
The political message, that populist hucksters who promise the Earth are almost certainly lying, and that being different is not the same as being bad, are somewhat apposite, as is the depiction of the true impact of self-proclaimed ‘whistleblowers’.
So, a nice addition to the saga of Dredd, and also a good, well put together police procedural that doesn’t require you to have read every issue of 2000AD since 1977 to enjoy it. Go for it.

More contemporary stories from the life of Joe Dredd. I like the way it keeps with modern times just not the best of the bunch but nothing to stop me reading more.
