Inspired by a real life organization this fictional book tells the story of lies, injustice, wrong convictions; focusing on a particular wrong conviction. And a dedicated group of people who carefully select criminal cases they believe are wrong conviction cases that stand up to their investigation rigors and can be proven to be rife with falsehoods which unjustly incarcerate innocent individuals. Elements of the Quincy Miller case in particular are trumped up charges by a corrupt group of law enforcement personnel fueled by a corrupt high level officer who is dirty and hiding his involvement in lawlessness.

Readers who enjoy thriller/suspense and legal related genres will be taken into this story. It gives a fictional story of the difficulty for proving innocence for people wrongly convicted, an eye opener.

When I first started reading the book I had to become accustomed to the writing style because the rhythm was for me a bit slow, but it soon picked up speed. As it unveiled the details I got to know the characters, the issues, and jumped in completely having a close view of everything.

For me the story was slow within the first few pages but fortunately I kept reading.

I intend to read more of his books.

It gave me insight into being falsely convicted, imprisoned, having hope dashed and being filled with dread. The tension of being approached by a group who is willing to help with a case and feel hope trying to come back but not wanting to let it in.

The book showed emotions and evoked them in me. I know more about the justice system as explained in a fictional story. It is based on truth. I'm glad I got to know the details of this story. It showed me what I wouldn't have known otherwise. Compassion for people encarsorated because they are people is something especially for the wrongly convicted that I hope will be considered.

Someone who has no idea about how justice works and wants a clue can learn a lot through this fictional story based on real situations.

I was interested in the event through out the entire book.

If a reader is into fast paced action/adventure, although it is there, mildly, they would need to be prepared for a different POV and a story focused on a slower pace and showing details that teach rather than excite.

The characters become friends or acquaintances, I visited many different places, and I learned a lot about how justice can be manipulated. When I think of someone wrongly convicted it makes me want to share this information and do something to prove their innocence. This book was well written.
