This is a five-star miscarriage of justice book and, like many of this genre, it includes misconduct, negligence and incompetence within the law enforcement and criminal justice systems. But it is also an interesting case study of what might be called in lay terms, brain-washing – marginalised, down-on-their-luck, gullible people who were lied to, scared and brow-beaten into confessing and, in some cases, actually believing they had committed or witnessed the crime. There is also the heroism of one of the convicted six who never stopped fighting for justice, a man who has proven to be an inspiration to many people whose lives he still touches. The cast of characters ranges from the admirable to the despicable, all fascinating in their own way. The book is beautifully written and the narrator, Kevin Pierce, shines as always.
