In John Grisham s first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man, the master of the legal thriller (Associated Press) teams up with Jim McCloskey, the godfather of the innocence movement (Texas Monthly), to share ten harrowing true stories of wrongful convictions.
These ten stories bitter, gritty, and heartbreaking will astound you, will inspire you, will bring your blood up to a roiling boil. Hampton Sides, New York Times bestselling author of The Wide Wide Sea
John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system.
A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse.
Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you.

Pressestimmen
These ten stories bitter, gritty, and heartbreaking will astound you, will inspire you, will bring your blood up to a roiling boil. Here are crimes of egregious malfeasance, perpetrated by cops, prosecutors, and jurists, that often seem more sinister than the original crimes these authorities were supposed to impartially resolve. Grisham and McCloskey, writing in crisp, propulsive prose, remind us how much hard and thoughtful work we still have to do to make America s legal system equitable, transparent, and fair. Hampton Sides, New York Times bestselling author of The Wide Wide Sea
Ten cases of egregious miscarriages of justice and their aftermaths . . . The list of perpetuated wrongs is endless, and the coauthors are empathetic to the plight of people who had nothing to do with the crimes they were accused of committing. The truth eventually came out in these cases, but that does little to lessen the impact of this sobering look at what happens when we turn a blind eye to injustice. A powerful and infuriating must-read about ineptitude and injustice in America s legal system. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Bestseller Grisham (The Exchange) teams up with Centurion Ministries founder McCloskey (When the Truth Is All You Have), whose nonprofit works to exonerate wrongly accused individuals, to tell ten such stories in this gripping account. . . . Both men deliver a series of thoroughly researched spellbinders. The results are equal parts fascinating and infuriating. Publishers Weekly
