John Grisham delivers a classic legal thriller–-with a twist.
In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But the police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man who was once a client of Russo’s.
Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For twenty-two years he languished in prison, maintaining his innocence. But no one was listening. He had no lawyer, no advocate on the outside. In desperation, he writes a letter to Guardian Ministries, a small nonprofit run by Cullen Post, a lawyer who is also an Episcopal minister.
Guardian accepts only a few innocence cases at a time. Cullen Post travels the country fighting wrongful convictions and taking on clients forgotten by the system. With Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he bargained for. Powerful, ruthless people murdered Keith Russo, and they do not want Quincy Miller exonerated.
They killed one lawyer twenty-two years ago, and they will kill another without a second thought.
JOHN GRISHAM is the author of thirty-three novels, one work of nonfiction, a collection of stories, and six novels for young readers.

讀瞭一半讀不下去瞭,文筆很一般,情節不誘人,實在找不到繼續讀下去的理由瞭……棄遼
评分john grisham簡直就是律師小說版的dan brown,倆人都寫懸疑,破案,都是那種劇情繁復錯雜,讓人心髒吊到嗓子眼恨不得一天就看完的那種小說。讀完能明白為啥這種小說暢銷,可惜這種類型並不是我喜歡的

评分作為偵探小說,寫得很緊湊,節奏剛剛好,正常推進,所以還算蠻enjoy的。有聲書的朗讀者帶著南方的口音,因為故事的背景。一開始不太習慣,後來聽習慣瞭,覺得朗讀者演繹得可真實入神。
评分藉偵探題材深刻反映美國種族和司法製度的深刻問題,主題十分深刻。故事上後半部分鋪開各種綫索之後卻最終沒有找到真凶,這個安排感覺有些虎頭蛇尾,但是後記中提到故事的現實版就是如此,所以也可以算作作者現實主義的安排。期望能早日翻拍成電影。
