What is the theme in Dead in the Water: A Novel by Stuart Woods?

Injustice is a major theme in the book. From the moment Stone Barrington hears about Allison Manning's case, he believes that she is being unjustly accused of murder. Stone believes that if Allison's case were to come in front of an American court, the case would quickly be thrown out of court. In fact, as Stone attends the coroner's inquest, even the reader begins to wonder what Sir Winston could possibly have to prove Allison killed Paul Manning.
