"The Guardians: a Novel," published by Doubleday, by John Grisham
In John Grisham's most recent book, "The Guardians," a retired cleric known as Cullen Post serves at a corporation called Guardian Ministries. Which cleans court transcripts and confidential letters from prisoners to identify if somebody is illegally jailed for a criminal offense he or she did not commit. In case the corporation is convinced without a question that the potential client is guiltless, it will do all the things it can within the restrictions of the regulation to free an innocent person, looking into and pressing for a new trial.
Quincy Miller has been in jail for almost 22 years - but still claims his innocence. A fresh lawyer was killed, and suspicion soon looked to Miller, drawing the trigger. He admits that a fellow inmate created a story about Miller accepting, and his ex-wife stated that he possessed many weapons, which also was not authentic. Another witness lied regarding seeing him run away the scene. Miller swears he never owned a firearm, was not anywhere in the vicinity in the evening, which a vital piece of evidence that soon after vanished was planted.
It's hard to trust that a significant number of people will be linked to a miscarriage of justice, but Post feels Miller and begins to look into what happened that fateful night.
Grisham again provides a suspenseful thriller combined with healthy ideas such as false imprisonment, death charges, and how the legal system shows bias. The Guardian's team of characters is high quality, and Miller's attitude and mannerisms will have readers asking what truth means in the world of the legal system.
