By writing this book, God in his unfailing love and daily mercies kept me going to share my journey of healing, forgiveness, and restoration. May it help you find...

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In the vein of Serial and Making a Murderer, John Grisham's first work of nonfiction will terrify anyone who believes in the presumption of innocence. Impeccably researched, grippingly told, filled with eleventh-hour drama, it's a book no American can afford to miss.
In the town of Ada, Oklahoma, Ron Williamson was going to be the next Mickey Mantle. But on his way to the Big Leagues, Ron stumbled, his dreams broken by drinking, drugs, and women. Then, on a winter night in 1982, not far from Ron's home, a young cocktail...

In the fall of 2010, in the all-American town of Apple Valley, Ohio, four people disappeared without a trace: Stephanie Sprang; her friend, Tina Maynard; and Tina's two children, thirteen-year-old Sarah and eleven-year-old Kody. Investigators began scouring the area, yet despite an extensive search, no signs of the missing people were discovered.

On the fourth day of the search, evidence trickled in about neighborhood "weirdo" Matthew Hoffman. A police SWAT team raided his home and...

The facts are brutally straightforward. On December 6, 1991, the naked, bound-and-gagged, burned bodies of four girls--each one shot in the head--were found in a frozen yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. Grief, shock, and horror overtook the city. But after eight years of misdirected investigations, only two suspects (teenagers at the time of the crime) were tried; their convictions were later overturned and detectives are still working on what is now a very cold case. The story has grown to include DNA technology, coerced false confessions, and other developments in crime and punishment. But...

A DEVOTED MOTHER GOES MISSING
Every once in a great while a genuine murder mystery unfolds before the public's eyes...Such is the tragic case of Susan Powell and her murdered boys, Charlie and Braden. When the pretty Utah mother went missing in December of 2009, the media was swept up in the story--with lenses and microphones trained on Susan's husband, Josh. He said he had no idea what happened to Susan--and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm. It was hard to know what, or who, to believe.

AND A CYCLE OF DEVASTATION...

In the 1950s three murder trials took place at The Old Bailey in London that had far-reaching effects. The tragic stories of these three people sentenced to be executed for murder are told in a clear, straight-forward way. The factual evidence that was laid before the judge is set out together with police statements and pleas from the defence. There was public disquiet from the start about these convictions, and eventually the law was changed. The book will appeal mainly to adults but teens may also be interested because one case involved two teenage boys, one of whom was hanged.
