Why Are You Here, Mrs Hamilton? The Post Office, Horizon and My Fight for Justice is Jo Hamilton’s powerful first-hand account of her ordeal as one of more than 700 sub-postmasters wrongly prosecuted between 2000 and 2014 due to the Post Office’s faulty Horizon accounting system. Immortalised in the ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Hamilton’s story goes beyond headlines and courtrooms to reveal the untold, deeply personal struggle behind Britain’s biggest miscarriage of justice.
