This, as far as I know, is John Grisham's first nonfiction work. It is a difficult story about a few men wrongly convicted, but mostly about one who is eventually exonerated. The book highlights this man's extreme difficulties in both the judicial and then the penal system. It's a gruelling exposé written artfully by a great writer. It's sensitizing and demoralizing. But first and foremost, it is a well told story about a colourful man, and his lovely family. It is at its core a story about a system failure that is a good balance to my recent viewing of Suits Season 3 on netflix!
