Publisher's Summary
He was framed for murder.
Now he needs someone on the outside to save him.
For 22 years Quincy Miller has sat on Death Row without friends, family or legal representation. He was accused of killing Keith Russo, a lawyer in a small Florida town. But there were no witnesses and no motive. Just the fact that Quincy was black in an all-white town and that a blood-splattered torch was found in the boot of his car. A torch he swore was planted. A torch that conveniently disappeared from evidence just before his trial.
It made no difference. The police photographs of the torch were enough. In the eyes of the law Quincy is guilty and, no matter how often he protests his innocence, his punishment will be death.
Finally, after 22 years, an innocence lawyer and minister, Cullen Post, takes on his case. Post has exonerated eight men in the last ten years. He intends Quincy will become number nine.
But there were powerful and ruthless people behind Russo's murder. They prefer that an innocent man goes to his death than one of them. They killed one lawyer 22 years ago, and they'll kill another one without a second thought.

One of Grisham’s best novels!
This is one of Grisham’s best stories. Listened from beginning to end in one long session. Couldn’t stop listening. Learned a lot about the deplorable incarceration statistics in the US and the good work of the innocence project lawyers. Well put together in a dramatic story that kept me absorbed from beginning to end. So sad to realise there may be so many innocent people in prison! Looking forward to Grisham’s next novel.

Excellent
Loved the fact it was loosely based on a real case and a real law firm. Also loved that there are some honest and caring lawyers around.

Boring and predictable.
Expected more from the book
Not worth the investment in time I made to ‘read’ it
