The Injustice System: A Murder in Miami and a Trial Gone Wrong (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780143124160)

An Atlantic Book of the Year and finalist for the Orwell Prize: a riveting true crime tale from the defense attorney who inspired John Grisham's The Chamber

Legendary criminal defense attorney Clive Stafford Smith has devoted his career to helping save penniless defendants from a justice system whose goal is not so much to find the right man as to get a conviction.

Miami, 1986. Kris Maharaj is arrested, tried, and sentenced to death for the brutal murder of his ex-business partner, Derrick Moo Young, and Derrick's son, Duane. Suspecting Kris may be innocent, as he claims, Stafford Smith begins his own investigation, which takes him from Miami to Nassau in the Bahamas to Colombia in search of the real killer. Interweaving the author's inspiring personal story with a spellbinding page-turner, The Injustice System exposes our broken legal process--and drops a bombshell that should reopen a long-closed case.
