THE WRONG MAN

He was coerced into confessing to a murder he didn't commit. He was condemned by the media, convicted by the jury. Then he was locked away and forgotten. But one woman could not forget. And she would dedicate her life to fighting the system and the odds - determined to prove John Purvis innocent...and to set her son free. Illus. 337pp. mass market p/back.
