In his first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man, #1 bestselling author John Grisham and Centurion Ministries Founder Jim McCloskey share ten harrowing true stories of wrongful convictions. Impeccably researched and grippingly told, Framed offers an inside look at the victims of the United States criminal justice system

In the aftermath of terrible crimes, the public demand immediate justice. Police and prosecutors rush to quickly close the case. But in Framed, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey unpick the reality. Ten wrongful conviction cases. Twenty-one innocent people. Ten stories with a truth more shocking than fiction.

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. John Grisham, the master of the legal thriller, teams up with Jim McCloskey, the founder of the first US organisation dedicated to exonerating innocent people, to tell ten gripping and shocking true stories that shine an astonishing light on miscarriages of justice.

Framed is the story of how truth can prevail and how freedom can be won when all seems lost and the deck is stacked against you.

All the cases in this book are simply extraordinary. And all are true.

Review This Product

A difficult but important read.

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 | Review by: Martin B.

John Grisham has collaborated with Jim McCloskey to produce Framed which looks at 10 wrongful convictions. This is a coruscating, frustrating, annoying and heartbreaking account of miscarriages of justice resulting in the wrongful conviction of innocent defendants. A difficult but important read.
