Memorable Quotes
"Why are we expected to celebrate after an innocent man is freed?"
"There are times, many times, when I despise the judges, especially blind ones and old ones and white ones, almost all of whom cut their teeth in prosecutors’ offices and have no sympathy for anyone accused of a crime. To them, everybody who is charged is guilty and needs time In jail. The system works beautifully and justice always prevails."

3.5. I don’t like this being billed as something so different: “a thriller from Grisham.” It’s a solid Grisham legal foray.

It had been a while since I have read a book by this author. He didn’t disappoint. Well written, great book! I would recommend this book.

This was a nice book (why is it whenever I write that it's nice, it doesn't sound like a compliment? ... which I guess it's not). Despite all the drama being written about, there didn't seem to be much drama and it lacked that page turning oomph that I was used to in a Grisham novel. One would be way better off reading his nonfiction book, The Innocent Man, rather than this watered down version of something similar. I finished this book thinking how wonderful The Innocent Man was.
This book is about a lawyer who quit to become a minister, only to come back to the law once again, and using his law degree to exonerate wrongfully convicted people. One case he has accepted involves a drug cartel and an innocent man taking the fall. Cullen Post must gather new evidence to free him.
I think that even my summary was more exciting than this book ended up being.

But it is a happy feel good story where the defense gets the lawyers they want and everyone gets to stick it to the DA who's laziness and corruptness put the man there in the first place.celticraven's review against another edition
