Advance Praise For Defending the Damned:

"Stunningly real and poetically unromantic, Defending the Damned delivers us into a world of accused monsters and the complex souls who have sworn to stand by them. Davis’s subjects trust him – an astonishing result in a part of Chicago where trust disappears first – and he hears everything they say."

-Robert Kurson, New York Times bestselling author, Shadow Divers

"In his remarkable narrative, Kevin Davis uncovers the true heroes of the court system. This is one of those rare books that will change your mind about lawyers."

-Gerry Spence, lawyer and bestselling author

"With a true journalist’s reverence for truth and accuracy, Kevin Davis presents a raw and real version of the way our legal system works from a side that rarely comes into the light, but one our democracy cannot survive without."

- Jonathon King, Edgar Award-winning crime novelist

From veteran journalist Kevin Davis comes the compelling and critically acclaimed true story of a group of battle-hardened lawyers fighting for those accused of the ultimate crime.

Davis takes you behind the scenes with an elite and fascinating group of public defenders who handle only one kind of case: murder. In this dark corner of the criminal justice system, nothing is ever as it seems.

Crime writer and best selling author Michael Connelly says:

"Kevin Davis gets so far inside the story that you would swear he was sitting right there at the defense table. With a journalist's keen eye for telling detail and dialogue, he has written a completely gripping and revealing assessment of what is not only going on in our courtrooms but in our society as well. Defending the Damned is a great and important book."

Defending the Damned - from Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster.
