Based on the wildly popular podcast, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King tells a true story about grace and forgiveness, even in the midst of the most shocking injustice. In 1987, Leo Schofield was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, Michelle. Always insistent on his innocence, he was poorly served by his legal defense and sentenced to life in prison. Over thirty years later, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gilbert King is tipped off to Leo's case and is astonished by what he finds: layers of corruption, flawed evidence, and deep-seated errors. He can't shake the story and, with the help of his tenacious assistant Kelsey, begins to unravel the layers around Leo to learn the truth. What they find is astonishing: they're able to link Michelle to Jeremy Scott, a Florida inmate with a criminal past. This connection will prove crucial for Leo as he fights for his freedom with grace in his heart. A masterful piece of investigative journalism, a chilling portrait of the criminal justice system, and a uniquely powerful story of grace and redemption, Bone Valley is a modern classic of narrative nonfiction.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
