John Grisham delivers a classic legal thriller–-with a twist.

In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But the police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man who was once a client of Russo’s.

Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For twenty-two years he languished in prison, maintaining his innocence. But no one was listening. He had no lawyer, no advocate on the outside. In desperation, he writes a letter to Guardian Ministries, a small nonprofit run by Cullen Post, a lawyer who is also an Episcopal minister.

Guardian accepts only a few innocence cases at a time. Cullen Post travels the country fighting wrongful convictions and taking on clients forgotten by the system. With Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he bargained for. Powerful, ruthless people murdered Keith Russo, and they do not want Quincy Miller exonerated.

They killed one lawyer twenty-two years ago, and they will kill another without a second thought.

用户评价

作为侦探小说，写得很紧凑，节奏刚刚好，正常推进，所以还算蛮enjoy的。有声书的朗读者带着南方的口音，因为故事的背景。一开始不太习惯，后来听习惯了，觉得朗读者演绎得可真实入神。

不晓得大家为什么都弃了，我是三天接连着就看完了。情结紧凑，文笔通畅！明明很好读嘛

借侦探题材深刻反映美国种族和司法制度的深刻问题，主题十分深刻。故事上后半部分铺开各种线索之后却最终没有找到真凶，这个安排感觉有些虎头蛇尾，但是后记中提到故事的现实版就是如此，所以也可以算作作者现实主义的安排。期望能早日翻拍成电影。

john grisham简直就是律师小说版的dan brown，俩人都写悬疑，破案，都是那种剧情繁复错杂，让人心脏吊到嗓子眼恨不得一天就看完的那种小说。读完能明白为啥这种小说畅销，可惜这种类型并不是我喜欢的
