The novel “The Innocent” is John Grisham's first book written in the genre of documentary detective. The tragic story of a young man, the once famous athlete Ron Williamson, convicted of a murder he did not commit. How did an innocent man end up on death row? Why was the trial conducted with gross violations? How much time and effort did it take for lawyers to save a man broken by fate? John Grisham answers these questions in his amazing book.

If you believe in the presumption of innocence, this book will shock you. If you are a supporter of the death penalty, it will make you reconsider your views. If you think the modern judicial system works, you'll be infuriated! "New York Times."
