Accused and convicted of the brutal murder of attorney Keith Russo in a small Florida town, Quincy vehemently protests his innocence. The case against him was riddled with inconsistencies – no reliable witnesses, a shaky motive predicated on a botched divorce case, and crucially, a blood-splattered torch found in his car boot that he claims was planted. To compound matters, this torch was conveniently destroyed in a fire preceding his trial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flimsy evidence meant nothing to the judge or jury at the time; in their eyes, Quincy was guilty – and a guilty man deserved to spend his life behind bars. Desperation grows with each passing year, until a glimmer of hope appears in the form of Cullen Post, an innocence lawyer and minister with a reputation for exonerating the wrongly convicted. Over the past decade, Post has secured freedom for eight innocent men, and Quincy aims to be the ninth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, making Quincy Miller a free man is no straightforward task. Behind Keith Russo's murder lurks a conspiracy of powerful and ruthless individuals who will go to any lengths to keep Quincy incarcerated – or worse. They had no qualms about eliminating one lawyer twenty-two years ago, and they certainly won't hesitate to silence Cullen Post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePraise for John Grisham's \u003cem\u003eThe Guardians\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A canny and engrossing blend of two types of Grisham novel: enough of the familiar formula of a single lawsuit in a single town, mixed with a more picaresque and multistranded approach that has the significant advantage of taking in a wider swathe of America.” – \u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Delivered with all his signature easy, flowing style.
