Conviction by Richard North Patterson. DoubleDay Large Print Home Library Ediiton. Contains the complete unabridged text of the original publisher's edition. Fifteen years ago, the body of a 9-year-old girl was found in San Francisco bay. Two brothers, Rennell and Payton Price, were found guilty of the murder and sentenced to death. Now, just two months before the execution, pro bono lawyer Teresa Paget and her family, a team of anti-death penalty lawyers, are convinced that Rennell didn't receive a fair trail-and that he may in fact be innocent of the crime. Resolving to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court, Paget revisits the past in a race against the clock, navigating the labyrinthine politics of death row to get to the elusive truth. But it's a case that will threaten to tear apart the fragile fabric of her family and put her own life in extreme jeopardy.

From the Inside Flap:
When the body of nine-year old Thuy Sen is found in the San Francisco Bay, the police quickly charge Rennell and Payton Price with her grisly murder. A twelve-person jury, abetted by an incompetent defense lawyer, is nearly as quick to find the brothers guilty, and to sentence them both to die for their crimes.
Fifteen years later, overworked pro bono laywer Teresa Peralta Paget, her husband Chris, and stepson Carlo, a recent Harvard law graduate, become convinced not only that Rennell didn't receive a fair trial but that he may well be innocent. Racing against the clock and facing enormous legal obstacles, Teresa, Chris, and Carlo desperately try to stay Rennell's execution, taking the case all the way to the Supreme Court, and to an enormously moving and powerful conclusion.
