Reviews
True stories of wrongful convictions are by their nature utterly compelling. In Injustice, Clive Stafford Smith details a spectacular example of a bogus conviction, and the many lives ruined by it...A superbly written account of only one case, but one of thousands. -- John Grisham Clive Stafford Smith is an extraordinary lawyer, but he is also a great storyteller and his account of the Kris Maharaj death row case is a powerful thriller, beautifully told. -- Helena Kennedy Q.C. Stafford Smith is a true hero and this book helps explain why. -- Jon Ronson If you believe in the death penalty, read this book. It will change your mind and change your life. A book that zaps through you at 2,000 volts - just like the current used to execute a man in the electric chair. -- Susan Hill An empowering read for anyone who cares about the humane implementation of justice - no matter where it is. -- Colin Firth

Author Information
Clive Stafford Smith is a lawyer specialising in defending those accused of the most serious crimes, and is founder and Director of UK legal charity Reprieve. Based in the US for twenty-six years, he now works from the UK where he continues to defend prisoners on Death Row, and challenges the continued incarceration of those held in secret prisons around the world. He has secured the release of 65 prisoners from Guantanamo Bay and still acts for fifteen more. His book Bad Men (shortlisted for the 2008 Orwell Prize) described this campaign. Alongside many other awards, in 2000 he received an OBE for 'humanitarian services'.
