John Grisham is known for his fiction titles and is often on several fiction bestseller lists when he releases a new title. This fall his latest book is also a bestseller but it is nonfiction – Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions.
Grisham was inspired to write this book while writing another nonfiction book The Innocent Man in 2012. In this latest work of nonfiction, he has teamed up with Jim McCloskey of the Centurion Ministries, an organization that works to free people who are wrongfully convicted. The authors selected 10 of the most compelling stories they have researched or been involved in.
Though the book reads like a thriller – it isn’t fiction -you are left in disbelief that each of these stories is a life shattered, that people in authority within the judicial system aren’t always looking for the truth. The two authors wrote the book in hopes of educating people about wrongful convictions – how they can happen and how they can be prevented.
This title is available in large print and on BRIDGES as both an ebook and audiobook. If you find the title is already checked out it can easily be put on hold for you.
