Justice 4 Peter
Peter L B Ross’s memoir, Justice 4 Peter, returns in a gripping second edition, published on May 19, 2025, offering a raw and unflinching look at a life defined by unimaginable hardship and extraordinary triumph.
Born in Brixton, London, in July 1946, Peter’s early years were marred by tragedy—orphaned after his mother’s suicide, he endured a childhood of violence, including beatings and rape by those meant to protect him. Yet, against all odds, Peter’s relentless determination and ambition propelled him from an abused orphan to a self-made millionaire, building a fortune in the construction industry.
This updated edition delves deeper into his journey, revealing new reflections and previously untold moments that underscore his unyielding spirit.
A Childhood of Horror, A Life of Ambition
Peter’s story is not for the faint-hearted. Raised in an orphanage with little formal education, he faced betrayal and brutality from those entrusted with his care. Most would have settled for a quiet existence after such trauma, but Peter was different. Starting as an apprentice electrician, he moved from London to Manchester, where he built a successful career in the building trade, amassing wealth through multiple companies and properties. His ambition extended beyond personal gain—he uplifted those around him, forging friendships that shaped his life, though some led to devastating betrayals.
Triumph Marred by Betrayal
Peter’s rise to financial success was matched by profound losses. Betrayed by his wife, solicitor, financial advisor, and even close friends, he faced not only the loss of his fortune but also a near-fatal shotgun attack by a neighbor. The memoir recounts these gut-wrenching betrayals, alongside systemic failures by the police, justice system, a neglectful doctor, and even prominent figures like Sir Cyril Smith (Chapter 13) and Sir Jeffery Archer (Chapter 56), who ignored his pleas for justice. Most shockingly, the second edition reveals a blackmail attempt against the book’s publisher, i2i, with evidence detailed in an extended Chapter 37, highlighting the ongoing battles Peter faces.
A Testament to the Human Spirit
Justice 4 Peter is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. Peter’s story of resilience shines through in moments of humor and warmth, from building site antics to an unexpected encounter with Sophia Loren. His love for his family, particularly his disabled daughter, adds a deeply moving dimension to the narrative. Even a vicious guard dog attack, which he recounts with wry humor as leaving him “lucky to have his manhood still intact,” underscores his ability to find light in the darkest moments. These episodes balance the memoir’s heavier themes, making it a compelling read.
A Call for Justice and Reform
Through his autobiography, Peter not only seeks personal closure but also exposes systemic flaws in the institutions meant to protect vulnerable individuals. His battles with a corrupt legal system, indifferent authorities, and ongoing blackmail attempts highlight a broader need for accountability and reform. Justice 4 Peter is a beacon of hope for those facing injustice, showing that even in the face of relentless adversity, the human spirit can prevail.
Why This Memoir Matters
This second edition of Justice 4 Peter is more than a biography—it’s a testament to survival, love, and an unyielding quest for fairness. Peter Ross’s journey from a traumatized child to a successful entrepreneur, only to face betrayal and loss, resonates as a powerful narrative of redemption. His story challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about trust, resilience, and the systems that often fail us. As Peter continues his fight for recognition and justice, his memoir stands as a compelling call to action, ensuring his voice—and those of others like him—is heard.
Justice 4 Peter is a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration from a true story of sheer determination against all odds. It lingers long after the final page, a reminder of the strength it takes to rise above a tragic past and the courage to demand justice, no matter the cost.
