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.

an ordinary crime and law story, won't make you savor afterwards

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

I never knew much about and had much interested in wrongful conviction back then as a criminology student. But this book changed my opinion about it. A very good read and respect what they do.

感觉Grisham这几年的小说质量有所回升，至少能吸引人读下去。有些小说有些虎头蛇尾，这部还算比较完整。Grisham也是尽量挖掘各种不同的律师，但是还是有些技穷了。。一年一部，不容易啊
