About this book
A young lawyer opens a small legal practice in Alabama representing people who cannot afford defence, many of them condemned to die. At its centre is the case of a man sentenced for a murder he says he did not commit, pursued through hostile courts, missing evidence and a town convinced of its own verdict. Around it gather the stories of children tried as adults, of poverty, mental illness and the machinery of punishment. Written with clarity and restraint, it moves like a courtroom narrative while asking what mercy costs and who is permitted to receive it.
