Description
From number one worldwide bestselling author John Grisham comes the
harrowing true story of a Texas father condemned to die for a crime that
never happened.
John Grisham is known worldwide as the master of the legal thriller, and one of our most popular novelists, but his lifelong passion for justice has also led him to work extensively with The Innocence Project, and inspired him to tell often shocking stories of wrongful convictions-first in The Innocent Man, the basis for the Netflix documentary, and most recently in the number one New York Times bestseller Framed, written with Jim McCloskey.
Now he turns an unflinching eye to the tragic case of Robert Roberson, a Texas father who has spent years on death row for a crime he did not commit. In Shaken: The Rush to Execute an Innocent Man, he exposes the many failures that led to a blameless man's death sentence, and a justice system more eager for a conviction than the truth. Powerful, urgent, and frequently unimaginable, this is both a riveting legal drama as only John Grisham can tell it, and a searing indictment of America's criminal justice system.
