The Innocent Man

A true story, very well told – a true Grisham classic * London Evening Standard *A true story, very well told * i *horrifying, but gripping * EVENT magazine, The Mail on Sunday *Such strong emotions are, for me at least, the sign that a True Crime book has done a complete and comprehensive job of telling the story. I think the book will have wide appeal. Fans of John Grisham’s fiction will not be disappointed and should definitely be enticed to make the move to his non-fiction. For those readers interested in the American justice system and the question of Death Row then I believe this book offers a close look into the inner machinations of that system. And for lovers of True Crime - like me, then this book is most certainly up there with some of the better ones I have read.” 4 ½ star review * TheBookbag.co.uk *carefully plotted, absorbing * Real Crime *Like Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, The Innocent Man brings a novelist’s eye to re-creating a complex chain of events and human reaction surrounding a crime and its aftermath. There are plenty of twists and turns in this tale, but the dominant note is one of compassion for the innocent man. * Sunday Times *A sincere, readable, lively book that raises important questions * The Times *At times it is harrowing, but above all, it is a testament to self-belief and the enduring love of his family * Daily Express *A work of art…this is a terrible and beautiful book. The terror is in the casual ease with which men, for the meanest of motives, can carelessly condemn another human being to rot from the inside out. The beauty not only lies with Ron Williamson…but also the burning care and respect for his fellow man shown by Grisham, which permeates and warms every page * Sunday Express *A blistering attack on corrupt politicians, the death penalty and the failures of the judicial system * The Daily Telegraph *
