Pro Bono
ByPublisher Description
When Kiriko Yanagida first came to Otsuka's law offices, she had only a familial conviction of her brother's innocence despite his confessing to the murder. To the high-profile (and high priced) lawyer Otsuka, this small-town girl's belief was nothing more than naive hope, so he sent her away, advising her to find a local lawyer or something. Now, Kiriko plots to avenge her brother -- entirely pro bono.

“Suspicion isnt on here so reviewing it under the same authors work: I struggled to read a lot this week- mainly as I was being lazy af and addicted to Bravo. I did manage to finish Suspicion- which was only about 100 pages- and I LOVED it. Its a tightly wound mystery about a femme fatale suspected of murdering her rich older husband, delving into the weight of public perception, trust and societal judgement and how quickly suspicion can unravel lives. Almost Agatha Christie-esque. Loved!”

“Pro Bono is a gripping, dark tale that begins with a harrowing miscarriage of justice and concludes with a chilling act of revenge. It starkly highlights a persistent and unsettling reality: the most talented defense lawyers remain out of reach for the poor. While wealthy criminals walk free, bolstered by brilliant legal representation, innocent individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds face careless defenses that often seal their tragic fates.”
About Seicho Matsumoto
Seicho Matsumoto (1909 - 1992) Native of Fukuoka Prefecture and prolific writer of socially oriented detective and mystery fiction, Matsumoto debuted as a writer after reaching the age of forty with the historically based Saigo Takamori Chits, 1950 and The Legend of the Kokura Diary, 1952. He then went on to establish his unique style of detective fiction with the works The Walls Have Eyes, 1957 and Points and Lines, 1958. Matsumoto made a name for himself as the writer of suspense novels that were accesible to all kinds of readership, but it was his historical novel The Ogura Diary Chronicles that earned him The 28th Akutagawa Prize, the Japanese equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. The popular Japanese TV show "Black Leather Notebook" was based on his novel of the same name, and several of his detective fiction works have been published in the US (SoHo Crime and Kodansha International).
The Matsumoto Seicho Memorial Museum in Kitakyushu City has commemorated the life and work of Seicho Matsumoto since 1998.
