Our Book Recommendations for Fall

In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man who was once a client of Russo’s. Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For twenty-two years he languished in prison, maintaining his innocence. In desperation, he writes a letter to Guardian Ministries, a small nonprofit run by Cullen Post. Cullen Post travels the country fighting wrongful convictions, but with Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he bargained for.
