This was a captivating read. Scott Finn and Tom Kozlowski not only try to uncover why an 'innocent' has been in jail for fifteen years, no, it's also about the survival of their loved ones.
Just before Christmas, Finn is supposed to help a young lawyer convict a convicted person years ago to prove his innocence. It soon turns out that the Boston police are corrupt and also their laboratories. They were bought by Central American Mafiosi. The judge who handles this case is not necessarily on show more Finns side and demands multiple proofs for the innocence of his client. But this is a dangerous venture. There are many dead and seriously injured, including Kozlowski's new girlfriend and coworker from Finn.
It was exciting from the first to the last page. show less

This is the first book of the Scott Finn series. Finn is a lawyer in Boston and is suspected of killing his work colleague. He himself is on the lookout for who killed her and therefore is caught up in his past when he was an orphan to one of the most feared gangs in Boston.
The story is very engaging from the beginning and one can hardly stop reading it. I will definitely read the sequels.

Imagine that you are an immigrant who has come to America to avoid the persecution and certain murder of your extended family in your home country. You are a skilled physician with a newborn daughter. A detective is assaulted and shot. She was investigating a vicious gang from your home country, whom you had treated as you do any patient that needs help. You are accused, convicted, and sent to prison.

A young lawyer has taken up your case. He is butchered with a machete. Before his death, he show more had spoken to a locally famous trial lawyer who also is prone to take on causes that need attention. His colleagues, a private eye and a young lawyer, have fallen in love. She is hacked-up and they are attacked. The local police force pilliaries these three for trying to release a hated attacker of a police officer.

There is DNA from fingernail scrapings of the original victim. The new lawyer gets the toxicology report as a hearing is set by a curious judge.

Is it possible that if the expert declares it certain that there is a DNA match, the accused may still be innocent?

Innocence is an apt title for a finely written book exploring the innocence of a variety of these interesting characters. David Hosp has an excellent grasp of storytelling. As I read these pages, the momentum built to the point that I could not put the book down until I was done, smiling at the mysteries that flowed from the pages like water from a mountain stream. I was on a 14 hour flight to Japan, which passed like moments.

If you enjoy, tension, emotion, and blossoming love, you will be delighted to have sat down with this wonderful work. Mr. Hosp has blended each of these emotions together with the background of chilling crime. show less

This is my first by David Hosp and it will not be my last. Even though I found his writing sometimes melodramatic, it did not get in the way of a stelar story. It's a great plot and well told even with the underestimating of his readers.
