Zustand: Good. Why?

Audio-CD. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An idealistic lawyer makes dangerous enemies as he fights to free an innocent man sentenced to life in prison in this "suspenseful thriller mixed with powerful themes" (Associated Press).In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But the police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young Black man who was once a client of Russo's.Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For twenty-two years he languished in prison, maintaining his innocence. But no one was listening. He had no lawyer, no advocate on the outside.
