But on his way to the Big Leagues, Ron stumbled, his dreams broken by drinking, drugs, and women. Then, on a winter night in 1982, not far from Ron’s home, a young cocktail waitress named Debra Sue Carter was savagely murdered. The investigation led nowhere. Until, on the flimsiest evidence, it led to Ron Williamson. The washed-up small-town hero was charged, tried, and sentenced to death—in a trial littered with lying witnesses and tainted evidence that would shatter a man’s already broken life…and let a true killer go free. Impeccably researched, grippingly told, filled with eleventh-hour drama, John Grisham’s first work of nonfiction reads like a page-turning legal thriller. It is a book that will terrify anyone who believes in the presumption of innocence—a book no American can afford to miss. 20 Second Interview: A Few Words with John Grisham
Q: Why this case? Q: How did you go about your research? Q: Did your training as a lawyer help you? Q: Throughout your book you mention, The Dreams of Ada: A True Story of Murder, Obsession, and a Small Town. How did you come across that book, and how did it impact your writing The Innocent Man? Q: You take on some pretty controversial and heated topics in your book–the death penalty, prisoner’s rights, DNA analysis, police conduct, and more–were any of your own beliefs challenged by this story and its outcome? Q: So many of the key players in this case are either still in office or practicing attorneys. Many family members and friends still live in the same small town. How do you think The Innocent Man will impact this community and other small rural towns as they struggle with the realities of the justice system? Q: What do you hope your readers will take away from The Innocent Man?

In October 2007, 23 year old Stacy Peterson vanished from the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, leaving behind her husband and children. Retired Police Sergeant Drew Peterson, thirty years Stacys senior, steadfastly asserted his innocence and maintained that his wife had simply fled their tumultuous marriage and run off with another man. Throngs of journalists and camera crews besieged Petersons quiet suburban culdesac, but the ex cop seemed to relish in this newfound limelight. As exhaustive searches for Stacys body turned up nothing and suggestive clues led nowhere, questions were raised about their unusual marriage, about Stacys past vocal concerns for her safety, and about Drew Petersons bizarre public behavior in the wake of Stacys disappearance. Then in February 2008 came a startling development. After a second autopsy, the unusual death of Petersons third wife, Kathleen Savio, was ruled a homicide. Three and a half years earlier, Savio had been found dead in the bathtub of their home, JOSEPH HOSEY has been a reporter for the Chicago area’s Herald News since 1999 and has been on the cusp of every major development in the Drew Peterson case. He is the only member of the media to cover Kathleen Savio’s inquest, having broken the stories of her death and, later, the disappearance of Stacy Peterson.
