#1 "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER
In the town of Ada, Oklahoma, Ron Williamson was going to be the
next Mickey Mantle. But on his way to the Big Leagues, Ron
stumbled, his dreams broken by drinking, drugs, and women. Then, on
a winter night in 1982, not far from Ron's home, a young cocktail
waitress named Debra Sue Carter was savagely murdered. The
investigation led nowhere. Until, on the flimsiest evidence, it led
to Ron Williamson. The washed-up small-town hero was charged,
tried, and sentenced to death--in a trial littered with lying
witnesses and tainted evidence that would shatter a man's already
broken life, and let a true killer go free.
Impeccably researched, grippingly told, filled with eleventh-hour
drama, John Grisham's first work of nonfiction reads like a
page-turning legal thriller. It is a book that will terrify anyone
who believes in the presumption of innocence--a book no American
can afford to miss.
