David Rose is one of the country’s leading investigative journalists and has revealed several significant miscarriages of justice in the UK, most notably that of Winston Silcott and the Tottenham three. He is the author of four books, including ‘Regions of the Heart’, the highly acclaimed biography of Alison Hargreaves.

'Rose writes eloquently...expertly unpicks the prosecution's line...stunning...this is a dazzlingly reported, supremely elegant book of scholarly confidence.' The Observer 'Rose has fashioned a persuasive narrative of the iniquities of the American criminal justice system as well as a vivid account of the social and racial backdrop to the legal saga.' The Times 'A gripping investigation into America's dark judicial past and, disturbingly, its present.' The Observer 'A gripping and brilliant piece of reporting that both lays bare an appalling miscarriage of justice and exposes its origins in the tortured history of the South. I could not put it down.' Sister Helen Prejean, author of 'Dead Man Walking' 'Excellent...Columbus has an intricate history of racism that Rose weaves expertly throughout his narrative...Rose could have opted merely to observe injustice but in undertaking this investigation, he may succeed in saving the life of an innocent man.' Daily Mail
