John Grisham – The Innocent Man First Edition (2006) Hardcover

The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town is John Grisham’s groundbreaking first work of nonfiction, published by Doubleday in 2006.

This collectible First Edition / First Printing hardcover features the original illustrated dust jacket and is beautifully preserved in Near Fine condition.

A True Story of Murder and Injustice

In 1982, a young woman named Debra Sue Carter was brutally murdered in Ada, Oklahoma. Years later, former baseball prospect Ron Williamson was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death.

Grisham reconstructs the investigation, trial, and extraordinary miscarriage of justice that followed. Drawing on real events, he explores questionable evidence, unreliable testimony, wrongful convictions, and the devastating consequences of a deeply flawed criminal justice system.

A compelling departure from his bestselling legal fiction, The Innocent Man combines investigative storytelling with the suspense and courtroom drama that made Grisham internationally famous.
