Review Each of these stories is told with astonishing power. They are packed with human drama, with acts of shocking villainy and breathtaking courage. But these are more than just gripping true stories - they are a clarion call for reforming the tragic flaws in our criminal justice system -- David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower MoonA brave book telling stories of injustice that everyone should know. Researched in detail and told with heartfelt conviction, this is an important book that should be required reading for anyone interested in the criminal justice system and the cost of its failures. -- Lisa Ballantyne, author of The Innocent OneFramed is a riveting journey into the dark corners of the US justice system. What we find there is difficult to fathom: bias, corruption, ineptitude and a shocking level of apathy in the face of life or death. Told with academic rigour but with the pace and drama of a legal thriller, it is moving, enraging, illuminating, and every bit as gripping as the best of Grishams fiction. -- Kia Abdullah, author of Truth Be ToldWhat makes this book important reading isnt the shock value advertised in the title. Its the exposure of the infuriating, recurrent factors involved in so many unrighteous convictions. * Washington Post * Details ISBN1399738593 Author Jim McCloskey Publisher Hodder & Stoughton Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781399738590 Format Hardcover Imprint Hodder & Stoughton Country of Publication United Kingdom Illustrations N/A Audience General ISBN-10 1399738593 Publication Date 2024-10-22 UK Release Date 2024-10-22 Pages 368 Subtitle Astonishing True Crime Stories of Wrongful Convictions, told as only John Grisham can NZ Release Date 2024-11-11 AU Release Date 2024-11-11 DEWEY 345.0122 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
