Anatomy of Innocence: Testimonies of the Wrongfully Convicted
Recalling the great muckrakers of the past, an outraged team of America’s best-sellingwriters unite to confront the disasters of wrongful convictions.
Wrongful convictions, long regarded as statistical anomalies in an otherwise sound justice system,
now appear with frightening regularity. But few people understand just how or why they happen
and, more important, the immeasurable consequences that often haunt the lucky few who are
acquitted, years after they are proven innocent.
Now, in this groundbreaking anthology, fourteen exonerated inmates narrate their stories to a
roster of high-profile mystery and thriller writers?including Lee Child, Sara Paretsky, Laurie R.
King, Jan Burke and S. J. Rozan?while another exoneree’s case is explored in a previously
unpublished essay by legendary playwright Arthur Miller. An astonishing and unique collaboration,
these testimonies bear witness to the incredible stories of innocent men and women who were
convicted of serious crimes and cast into the maw of a vast and deeply flawed American criminal
justice system before eventually, and miraculously, being exonerated.
Introduced by best-selling authors Scott Turow and Barry Scheck, these master storytellers
capture the tragedy of wrongful convictions as never before and challenge readers to confront the
limitations and harsh realities of the American criminal justice system. Lee Child tells of Kirk
Bloodsworth, who obsessively read about the burgeoning field of DNA testing, cautiously hoping
that it held the key to his acquittal?until he eventually became the first person to be exonerated
from death row based on DNA evidence. Judge John Sheldon and author Gayle Lynds team up to
share Audrey Edmunds’s experience raising her children long distance from her prison cell. And
exoneree Gloria Killian recounts to S. J. Rozan her journey from that fateful "knock on the door"
and the initial shock of accusation to the scars she carries today.
Together, the powerful stories collected within the Anatomy of Innocence detail every aspect of the
experience of wrongful conviction, as well as the remarkable depths of endurance sustained by
each exoneree who never lost hope.
