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

Ehh - definitely not the target audience for this one. VERY fact based, listened on audiobook and had a tough time following characters
