Product Description
Bone Valley — Gilbert King
From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King comes a chilling exploration of one of America’s most haunting wrongful conviction cases. Based on the acclaimed podcast, Bone Valley delves into the dark heart of rural Florida, where a young man’s life was forever changed by a devastating miscarriage of justice.
“Captivating, enraging, and all too true.” — Robert Kolker, New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Valley Road
“Bone Valley is a work of rare moral clarity and deep compassion.” — Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking
In 1987, 18-year-old Michelle Schofield was found brutally stabbed to death in a drainage canal in Central Florida’s Bone Valley. Her husband, Leo—a young musician with big dreams—was convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison. He has always maintained his innocence.
Decades later, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King was contacted by a Florida judge who believed Leo had been wrongfully convicted. King’s investigation uncovered new evidence connecting Jeremy Scott, a violent neighbor with a criminal record, to the murder. Now serving a life sentence for another killing, Scott’s story intertwined with Leo’s in shocking and deeply human ways.
Bone Valley is more than a true crime story—it’s a profound exploration of guilt, innocence, grace, and redemption. Through meticulous reporting and moral insight, Gilbert King exposes how a flawed justice system destroyed lives and refused to confront its mistakes.
Powerful, moving, and unforgettable, Bone Valley stands as a new classic of narrative nonfiction—and a testament to the enduring pursuit of truth.
