The Exonerated

J. C. Ryan

After spending a decade in prison for a crime he insists he did not commit, Andy Gibbons has surrendered any hope of freedom—though his wife, Jamie, refuses to do the same. When her desperate appeal reaches the desk of disillusioned Judge Regan St Clair, it draws Regan and former Special Forces operative Jake Westley into a dangerous investigation. As they probe the case, they uncover a web of deception, corruption, and calculated menace buried within the justice system, where appearances can be manipulated and trust is a liability. Fast-paced and suspenseful, this crime thriller explores wrongful conviction, institutional power, and the high cost of pursuing the truth.
