"The judge described my crime as 'the most heinous' he had seen in his career on the bench. I wanted to shout, cry out and protest my innocence as my sentence was handed down. But honestly, I couldn't." Convicted of a crime he has no memory of committing, Eli Kelly is serving a life sentence in Stoutbliss Prison. After seven years as an inmate, Eli is resigned to his fate, but when a solicitor is sent to Stoutbliss as part of a government scheme to investigate potential miscarriages of justice, he finds himself contemplating a future beyond his prison cell. Working with a psychiatrist, Eli revisits his traumatic past, and as they delve deeper into his memories, Eli realises that, regardless of his guilt or innocence, he is yet another victim whose cries for help were ignored by the very services supposed to keep him safe. Will Eli finally remember what happened on that fateful night? Is he guilty? Or innocent? And given the circumstances, does it matter?

Reviews
'A brutal and unforgiving system elegantly portrayed. With a hint of Selby, Cogley gives us sympathy and understanding of a prisoner's plight, capturing the essence of guilt and innocence, as ambiguity flows in and out of consciousness and into the sea of redemption.' - Simon Marlowe, author of 'The Dead Hand of Dominique' and 'Medusa and The Devil'
