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 killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But 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. But no one was listening. He had no lawyer, no advocate on the outside. In desperation, he writes a letter to Guardian Ministries, a small nonprofit run by Cullen Post, a lawyer who is also an Episcopal minister.

Guardian accepts only a few innocence cases at a time. Cullen Post travels the country fighting wrongful convictions and taking on clients forgotten by the system. With Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he bargained for. Powerful, ruthless people murdered Keith Russo, and they do not want Quincy Miller exonerated.

They killed one lawyer twenty-two years ago, and they will kill another without a second thought.

In the small town of Seabrook, Florida, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead on his desk while working late at night. The killer has no clue. There are no witnesses, no one has a motive. But police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man who used to be Russo’s client.

Quincy was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment. For 22 years, he was in trouble in prison and maintained his innocence. But no one is listening. He has no lawyers and no advocates outside. In despair, he wrote a letter to The Guardian, a small nonprofit run by lawyer Cullen Post, who is also the minister of the bishop.

The guardian accepts only a few innocent cases at a time. Cullen Post travels to struggle with false beliefs and attracts forgotten customers of the system. With Quincy Miller, though, he gained far beyond his bargaining. The powerful, ruthless man murdered Keith Russo, who did not want Quincy Miller to be exempted.

They killed one attorney twenty-two years ago and they would kill another attorney without considering it.
