About this listen
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.

What a wonderful but sad story
The narration of this story is incredible. The difference voices used makes you feel like there are several people talking when it is only one person. The tempo of it is perfect, keeps you locked in constantly.

Excellent read
This is outside Grisham's usual storytelling of lawyers and courtrooms as had only a couple of courtroom chapters. I really enjoyed this book which was very compelling. and a far better story than Grisham's usual tales, though I have enjoyed them all. Highly recommended.

Great story
Made me tearful at the end with authors notes to hear it’s based with details from a true story.

John Grisham does not fail to amaze with his latest book.
I have read every John Grisham novel for more than 20yrs and one might be forgiven for thinking he may have peaked. However this clearly shows he has not. One of, if not arguably the best, most moving, powerful, gritty, spiritual and uplifting stories I’ve read in a long time.
