“If you do not want to feel that you’ve been set on fire...do not, under any circumstances, pick up this painstaking, heartbreaking, don’t-bother-me-until-I-finish-reading-this book. These two moms fighting for accountability, facts, and to clear the names of their murdered sons are inspiring, and their literally go-for-broke lawyers are, too. I thought I knew this story, and oh, was I mistaken.” —Melinda Henneberger, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist
