Not guilty

From the dormitory in Ashkelon to a Damascus prison : a harrowing escape from Syria; a devious betrayal; a web of deceit spun by con artists; a harsh prison sentence Not guilty is the story of a young man's determination to stay faithful to his father's memory and erase an enormous debt that weighed heavily on his conscience for years, [which] leads him to make some misguided decisions, and soon... the reality that he'd labored for years to compensate for another person's crime. [This] is a tale of hope and treachery, of honesty and deceit; and ultimately, of understanding and reconciliation. -- From back cover and publisher's website.
