The innocents

by Francesca Segal

Stanley, 25-year-old wunderkind lawyer, has a bewildering new client: a bright young man from the suburbs who has confessed to a senseless murder. As Stanley is drawn deeper into his troubled client's life, everything he believes about his place in the world is thrown into doubt. And his own life -- enviable, and seemingly perfect -- starts to fracture.
