Dry Ice

by Peter Joyce

Peter Joyce’s settled life was disrupted when a woman he had never met accused him of historic rape. With a unique brand of angry humour, his diary plots the stages of his despair and traces his attempts to find justice in the face of the current insistence that we must “believe the victim”.
Dry Ice is a compelling memoir, but much more. The accusation made the writer a reluctant expert on similar cases from all over the world. He throws light on everything that limits public knowledge of false sexual allegations, from dangerous counselling to flawed statistics, and he exposes police investigation methods as blinkered, inefficient and insensitive.

Agreed and Understood

I chose this book after meeting the author on Twitter. It's a wonderful book and I recommend everyone read if only as an eye opener to what can happen.
My son is in a situation where he's been falsely accused of a sex crime. The fight is hard and real! This book helped me put some things in perspective.
Thank you
