“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?

" [...] Ten months of being in here can change someone; whether that be for better or worse, only time can tell. [...]"
Our hero is Eli Kelly, who has been in prison for seven years for killing Matt. He is twenty-eight years old. His current cellmate is Brendan. Brendan struggles to leave the prison walls. Charlie is a close and loyal friend who is hiding something from the other prisoners. For this he is beaten every day. I was very moved by his story. Tears were literally flowing down my face. We should not be allowed to oppress our fellow prisoners just because they are alive.
Anna McGrath is a lawyer. Will she take an interest in the affairs of our heroes? Are their cases worth reconsidering?
Eli Kelly's case won't be easy because he doesn't remember how his boyfriend was murdered. He doesn't remember how or why he murdered Matt. Is he really behind this crime? Will a certain doctor help him remember everything? This case won't be easy. It will be very difficult. Nevertheless, it is worth undertaking.
The book "An inquiry into innocence" by R.N. Cogley's book is not light reading. It's very exciting. You will meet LGBTQ+ people here. This book makes us think. Is everything correct in prisons? Are prisoners always guilty?
This book keeps you in suspense until the last page. There was such a twist at the end that I still can't get my head around it. An interesting read. This book is worth reading. The perfect psychological thriller.
