A true story, very well told - a true Grisham classic * London Evening Standard * Like Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, The Innocent Man brings a novelist's eye to re-creating a complex chain of events and human reaction surrounding a crime and its aftermath. There are plenty of twists and turns in this tale, but the dominant note is one of compassion for the innocent man. * Sunday Times * A sincere, readable, lively book that raises important questions * The Times * At times it is harrowing, but above all, it is a testament to self-belief and the enduring love of his family * Daily Express * A work of art...this is a terrible and beautiful book. The terror is in the casual ease with which men, for the meanest of motives, can carelessly condemn another human being to rot from the inside out. The beauty not only lies with Ron Williamson...but also the burning care and respect for his fellow man shown by Grisham, which permeates and warms every page * Sunday Express *
