«The Innocent Man» is John Grisham's non-fiction work about a miscarriage of justice, published by Anchor in paperback (448 pages, in English).
The book reconstructs the real case of Ron Williamson, a former baseball player from Ada (Oklahoma) whose career was cut short by injury and personal problems. In 1982, waitress Debra Sue Carter is murdered; years later, Williamson and Dennis Fritz are tried without physical evidence, with testimony from informants and questionable forensic science. Fritz is sentenced to life imprisonment and Williamson to death row.
It is John Grisham's first non-fiction work; the real case it recounts was adapted into a Netflix documentary series.
Suitable for readers of true crime and legal thrillers interested in miscarriages of justice, the death penalty and criminal justice in the United States.
