ABOUT THE BOOK
For years, Alec Klein investigated cases where people were convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. Suddenly, Alec found himself on the other side, falsely accused himself. In a coordinated media attack, he was accused of misconduct as a professor at a top U.S. university, and in a rush to judgment, before he had a chance to defend himself, his life was destroyed. What happens when you have little hope? In the aftermath, Alec gravitated to the unlikeliest of places, among the unlikeliest of people, doing the unlikeliest of things. This is a first-person true story about faith, forgiveness and redemption. (Republic Book Publishers)

"Look. Go. Seek."
Those words are whispered to Joe, but from who? He only hears the voice.
Joe is an out-of-work investigative reporter drowning in drink, prescription drugs, and a disgrace not of his own making. In the bleakness, he stumbles across the case of Maggie, an inmate who has always maintained her innocence, even after being convicted of child neglect.
Spurred on by the inexplicable voice, Joe sets out to uncover the truth of Maggie’s mysterious case. Joe corresponds with Maggie from prison along the way, and they develop a connection as he journeys from his
antiseptic apartment in New York to a quiet corner of Oklahoma and a dusty Texas border town. Finally, he finds himself in the hardscrabble countryside of Mexico.
Ultimately, Joe must contend with a looming threat, seeking to guard a long-held secret in Whispered Word, a work of fiction based on a true story.
