Wrong Place, Wrong Time: The Tragedy of the West Memphis Three tells the haunting story of a small-town murder case that spiralled into one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in American history. In 1993, three eight-year-old boys were found brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. Within weeks, three teenagers -- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley -- were arrested, tried, and convicted, not because of hard evidence, but because of their appearance, music taste, and the town's fear of the unknown.

What followed was a decades-long fight for truth, as cracks in the case widened: unreliable confessions, discredited forensic evidence, and mounting proof of police misconduct. While the teens became men behind bars, a global movement formed -- championed by musicians, filmmakers, and thousands of ordinary people -- demanding their release. The story became a symbol of what happens when fear and prejudice override justice.

This book dives deep into the people, pressures, and power structures that allowed it all to happen. More than a courtroom drama, it's a reflection on how quickly a community can turn, how long it takes to undo a lie, and what it really costs to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
