The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir
$18.63 online at Bookshop.org
Before a summer job at a Louisiana law firm defending men accused of murder, Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, child of two lawyers, is staunchly against the death penalty. Then convicted murderer Ricky Langley's face appears on old tapes, and they are overcome with wanting him to die. Shocked, they dig into the case and find something uncannily familiar. As they pore over the murder they are pulled into Ricky's childhood, forced to face their own story, unearth buried family secrets, and reckon with a past that colors how they see the crime. Another surprise waits: they were not the only one who saw their life in Ricky's.
