FRAMED - John GrishamLONGLISTED FOR THE ALCS GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION?Ten wrongful conviction cases??Twenty-one innocent people??Framed tells ten stories with a truth more shocking than fiction?John Grisham, the master of the legal thriller, teams up with Jim McCloskey, who has dedicated his life to exonerating innocent people, to uncover stories that shine an astonishing light on miscarriages of justice. All the cases in this book are simply extraordinary. And all are true.Joe Bryan suffered the unbearable tragedy of his wife's murder, only to be tried and found guilty of the crime himself - despite being 120 miles away at the time it was committed.Clarence Brandley spent nine years on Death Row, coming to within six days of execution, before new evidence cleared him of all charges.And in the case of the Norfolk Four, police and prosecutors continued to arrest innocent people until not one but four men were behind bars.Impeccably researched and told with page-turning conviction, in Framed, these cases are finally laid bare.Most importantly, they show how truth can prevail and how freedom can be won when all seems lost.'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 Moon
