FRAMED FOR MURDER. FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE.

Twenty-two years ago, Quincy Miller was framed for murder - now he wants justice.

Accused of killing his divorce lawyer, he's serving life without parole. There were no reliable witnesses and no solid evidence in the case. Enter Cullen Post: he's helped to exonerate eight men and he intends to make Miller the ninth.

But powerful and ruthless people were behind this murder - and they're not about to let Miller walk free without a fight...

Praise for The Guardians: The heart-stopping crime thriller from the number 1 Sunday Times bestselling author

  • ...Grisham at his passionate best, conveying every ounce of his anger at the corruption behind the law. It is his finest book for some time. Do not miss it. - Daily MailA canny and engrossing blend of two types of Grisham novel: enough of the familiar formula of a single lawsuit in a single town, mixed with a more picaresque and multistranded approach that has the significant advantage of taking in a wider swathe of America - The Sunday TimesSimmering with righteous and understandable anger in place about the manifest injustices of the US criminal justice system - Financial TimesThe master of the legal thriller turns to one of his real-life passions - freeing those wrongly convicted. Inspired by true stories, the skilful plot follows an "innocence lawyer", who goes up against dangerous foes as he dedicates himself to freeing a man behind bars for the murder of a lawyer. - Sunday MirrorDelivered with all his signature easy, flowing style. A past master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos, Grisham makes this a deceptively easy read. But The Guardians is much more than a simple legal divertissement... Grisham aims a spotlight at the all-too-prevalent venality of the American 'win at all costs' prosecutorial attitude... much of his inspiration is based on tragic fact - Irish IndependentThis is typical Grisham: speedy, gripping, very good at conveying the complexities of the law in a digestible way - Sunday ExpressSpeedy and gripping - Daily MirrorNo one with any interest in justice could resist this story, which Grisham has structured with all his familiar skill. The good characters are sympathetic, the wicked are truly revolting and the rage is wholly understandable - Literary Review
