![]() ![]() I enjoy those stories which are a little bit 'one man takes on the world' and that's definitely the case with Bishop when he finds himself imprisoned for multiple murders, with the reader knowing that the overwhelming evidence that proves his guilt is actually the result of an extremely well planned setup. The first book in the series is this, The Wrong Man and it was a thrilling read from start to finish.ĭespite already knowing a little bit about Bishop from The Hunter's Oath, it was great to meet him for the 'first' time and learn even more about what has made him the man that I met in the third book. After reading Jason Dean's The Hunter's Oath last year, I loved the character of James Bishop and couldn't wait to go back and read the series from the start. ![]()

In 2012, a year after his lecture, Bissinger published "After Friday Night Lights," an account of their relationship. None of it had saved Miles, who ended up in prison on the wrong side of age 40.

And in "Friday Night Lights," Bissinger had elevated the form. No one gets to be an effective fly on the wall through histrionics. Reporting a work of narrative nonfiction requires patience, reserve and omnidirectional empathy. Unhinged anger seemed unbecoming for a storyteller of his caliber.

Where others see maps and facts and stacks of information, Jean Fritz (born in 1915) sees the woven thread of humanity connecting it all. The further we rewind time, the more we can see the delicate choreography of maps as borders shift, fluidly, pushed and pulled by the passage of time, by conflict, by wars, by revolutions, and - oh yes, - by individual people. And when we go back in time, maps change. As Jean Fritz knew, life is hidden in the stories - in the buzzing, humming swirl of life happening under each dot on the map.
