Rabia Chaudry's \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller and award-winner \u003ci\u003eAdnan's Story\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how the case was mishandled and became the subject of Sarah Koenig's Peabody Award-winning podcast \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn early 2000, Adnan Syed was convicted and sentenced to life plus thirty years for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, a high school senior in Baltimore, Maryland. Syed has maintained his innocence, and Rabia Chaudry, a family friend, has always believed him. By 2013, after almost all appeals had been exhausted, Rabia contacted Sarah Koenig, a producer at This American Life, in hopes of finding a journalist who could shed light on Adnan's story. In 2014, Koenig's investigation turned into \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e, a Peabody Award-winning podcast with more than 500 million international listeners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e did not tell the whole story. In this compelling narrative, Rabia Chaudry presents key evidence that she maintains dismantles the State's case: a potential new suspect, forensics indicating Hae was killed and kept somewhere for almost half a day, and documentation withheld by the State that destroys the cell phone evidence--among many other points--and she shows how fans of \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e joined a crowd-sourced investigation into a case riddled with errors and strange twists. Featuring information about Adnan's life in prison, and weaving in his personal reflections with never-before-seen letters, Rabia's account is \"a true story about real people. \u003ci\u003eAdnan's Story\u003c\/i\u003e adds context and humanizes it in a way that could change how you think about the case and about \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e itself\" (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chaudry's clear, vivid and highly readable account of the case will bring the story to life for readers unfamiliar with the podcast, and even the most devoted \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e fans will find fresh insight and a vast amount of new material. Chaudry's legal training serves her well as she marshals her defense, but so too does the Pakistani heritage and Muslim faith she shares with Syed.\" --\u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rabia Chaudry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250146542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250146540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Rabia Chaudry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994047938815,"sku":"9781250146540","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_555b9422-d9a5-4b09-9880-ab8885fb27f6.jpg?v=1683327822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adnans-story-rabia-chaudry-9781250146540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
