Rabia Chaudry's \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller and award-winner \u003ci\u003eAdnan's Story\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how the case was mishandled and became the subject of Sarah Koenig's Peabody Award-winning podcast \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn early 2000, Adnan Syed was convicted and sentenced to life plus thirty years for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, a high school senior in Baltimore, Maryland. Syed has maintained his innocence, and Rabia Chaudry, a family friend, has always believed him. By 2013, after almost all appeals had been exhausted, Rabia contacted Sarah Koenig, a producer at This American Life, in hopes of finding a journalist who could shed light on Adnan's story. In 2014, Koenig's investigation turned into \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e, a Peabody Award-winning podcast with more than 500 million international listeners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e did not tell the whole story. In this compelling narrative, Rabia Chaudry presents key evidence that she maintains dismantles the State's case: a potential new suspect, forensics indicating Hae was killed and kept somewhere for almost half a day, and documentation withheld by the State that destroys the cell phone evidence--among many other points--and she shows how fans of \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e joined a crowd-sourced investigation into a case riddled with errors and strange twists. Featuring information about Adnan's life in prison, and weaving in his personal reflections with never-before-seen letters, Rabia's account is \"a true story about real people. \u003ci\u003eAdnan's Story\u003c\/i\u003e adds context and humanizes it in a way that could change how you think about the case and about \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e itself\" (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Chaudry's clear, vivid and highly readable account of the case will bring the story to life for readers unfamiliar with the podcast, and even the most devoted \u003ci\u003eSerial\u003c\/i\u003e fans will find fresh insight and a vast amount of new material. Chaudry's legal training serves her well as she marshals her defense, but so too does the Pakistani heritage and Muslim faith she shares with Syed.\" --\u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51937009074407,"sku":"9781250146540","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_5c1020f2-02e8-4b28-a7c2-af97a0dc860d.jpg?v=1774996082","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/adnans-story-the-search-for-truth-and-justice-after-serial","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
