A stunning book, with the first print run alone of 2,500,000 copies!
It seems something like this has been written before.
A confession extracted during an interrogation… A sentence cobbled together by the prosecutor together with the judge… Unexpected evidence of the defendant’s innocence… And then what?
Papers are delayed. Office doors are locked. Officials who decide whether the convicted man lives or dies casually go off to picnics. While the hands on the clock relentlessly count not hours, but minutes until execution!
Who will stop the merciless, indifferent machine of justice, ready to crush the “little” man?
