520    Writer Wells and lawyer Leo team up here to produce a 
       harrowing examination of wrongful convictions and, 
       especially, of false confessions. Their target is a case 
       involving the arrest of seven men for rape and murder, and
       the conviction and imprisonment of four of these men (and 
       the continuing imprisonment of three of them), even after 
       the man they identify as the true murderer has been 
       convicted... The authors do an excellent job of setting up
       the crime and describing the panicked points of view of 
       those arrested and convicted. The narrative then becomes a
       bit too hurried, long on detail but short on explication, 
       as the authors move into more complex terrain. This study 
       demands and rewards close reading and should inspire 
       outrage. --Booklist.
