In Ada, Oklahoma, Ron Williamson’s life spiraled from baseball dreams to a death row nightmare. The Innocent Man is John Grisham’s first nonfiction book, and it reads with all the tension of his best thrillers — except this time, the story is terrifyingly true. It’s a haunting deep dive into wrongful convictions, flawed justice systems, and the devastating toll of small-town corruption.
📖 Perfect for readers who love:
-
True crime stories that read like thrillers
-
Wrongful conviction cases and justice system exposés
-
Gritty nonfiction with a deeply human center
📚 Condition: In great condition for being 20 years old! It's got some miles on it with some light scuffing around the corners and a cracked spine but very well taken care of.
✨ Why you’ll love it: This isn’t courtroom fiction — it’s a real case, and Grisham’s storytelling makes every injustice hit harder. If you want a book that leaves you shaken and questioning the system, this one’s unforgettable.
