Interesing concept – a man is arrested, tried, found guilty and spends 15 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. There is really no way to get those years back so Wolf Hadda’s really wants to find out who set him up on child pornography charges. Alva Ozigbo, the prison psychologist, helps but she has multiple issues as she helped to put him behind bars, she observed him as she would a criminal. She’s black – he’s white. And she’s not sure of his innocence. The book was a bit too gritty for me.
