520 $a"A gang of kids from an overcrowded council estate is running riot on the streets. Break-ins, car theft, vandalism - these under-age criminals know they can continue without fear of lawful retribution. The neighborhood police are at their wits' end, while terror, hatred and frustration have become part of life for local residents. Then, just when it seems things can get no worse, the gang turns its full attention on Shelby House, a nearby old people's home." "The supervisor, Veronica (Ronni) Porter, her two staff, and the nine elderly residents in their care become sitting targets as the youngsters mount a hate campaign involving abusive mail, obscene graffiti and shattered windows. As their intimidation escalates, Ronni's own father is dragged into the horror when, disturbed by a burglary inside his own home, he is mercilessly beaten into a coma." "Apparently helpless, and unable to count on police protection, Shelby House's senior citizens make a fateful decision. Summoning up all their courage and guile, these seemingly easy victims plan their own campaign of retribution. And when the young thugs launch their most violent attack yet, Ronni finds herself trapped between two equally determined and ruthless forces...in a conflict escalating towards an unimaginable and nightmarish outcome."--BOOK JACKET.
