A YOUNG LAW STUDENT, AN UNSPEAKABLE CRIME, AND A PAST THAT REFUSES TO STAY BURIED. 9.5"x6.5", 326 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Before Alex Marzano-Lesnevich begins a summer job at a law firm in Louisiana, working to help defend men accused of murder, they think their position is clear. The child of two lawyers, they are staunchly anti-death penalty. But the moment convicted murderer Ricky Langley's face flashes on the screen as they review old tapes - the moment they hear him speak of his crimes - they are overcome with the feeling of wanting him to die. Shocked by their reaction, they dig deeper and deeper into the case. Despite their vastly different circumstances, something in his story is unsettlingly, uncannily familiar. Crime, even the darkest and most unsayable acts, can happen to any one of us. As Alex pores over the facts of the murder, they find themself thrust into the complicated narrative of Ricky's childhood. And by examining the details of Ricky's case, they are forced to face their own story, to unearth long-buried family secrets, and reckon with a past that colors their view of Ricky's crime. But another surprise awaits: They weren't the only one who saw their life in Ricky's. This groundbreaking, heart-stopping work, ten years in the making, shows how the law is more personal than we would like to believe - and the truth more complicated, and powerful, than we could ever imagine..
