2017., Adult, Flatiron Books Call No: Bio L622f Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Before Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich begins a summer job at a law firm in Louisiana, working to help defend men accused of murder, she thinks her position is clear. The child of two lawyers, she is staunchly anti-death penalty. But the moment convicted murderer Ricky Langley's face flashes on the screen as she reviews old tapes - the moment she hears him speak of his crimes - she is overcome with the feeling of wanting him to die. Shocked by her reaction, she digs deeper and deeper into the case. Despite their vastly different circumstances, something in his story is unsettlingly, uncannily familiar. Crime, even the darkest and most unsayable acts, can happen to any one of us. As Alexandria pores over the facts of the murder, she finds herself thrust into the complicated narrative of Ricky's childhood, and by examining his case, is forced to face her own story, unearth long-buried family secrets, and reckon with a past that colors her view of Ricky's crime. Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich's essays have appeared in the New York Times, Oxford American, and the anthologies True Crime and Waveform: Twenty-first Century Essays by Women. She teaches in the graduate public policy program at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government."--Provided by publisher.
