On the evidence of "The Dead Alive," Scott Turow writes in his foreword that Wilkie Collins might well be the first author of a legal thriller. Here is the lawyer out of sorts with his profession; the legal process gone awry; even a touch of romance to soften the rigors of the law. And here, too, recast as fiction, is the United States' first documented wrongful conviction case. Side by side with the novel, this book presents the real-life legal thriller Collins used as his model-the story of two brothers, Jesse and Stephen Boorn, sentenced to death in Vermont in 1819 for the murder of their brother-in-law, and belatedly exonerated when their "victim" showed up alive and well in New Jersey in 1820. Rob Warden, one of the nation's most eloquent and effective advocates for the wrongly convicted, reconsiders the facts of the Boorn case for what they can tell us about the systemic flaws that produced this first known miscarriage of justice-flaws that continue to riddle our system of justice today. A tale of false confessions and jailhouse snitches, of evidence overlooked, and justice more blinkered than blind, the Boorns' story reminds us of the perennial nature of the errors at the heart of American jurisprudence-and of the need to question and correct a system that regularly condemns the innocent.

华老师（Sarah Waters）说过维多利亚时代的性产业状况相当有趣，值得一写 。最近翻译Wilkie Collins的作品，比起无人不知的柯南道尔，前者的笔触更亲民。工业革命将不列颠推向Victorian era的峰顶，发达与压迫并行，廉耻与春宫辉映。相较于批判现实主义的狄更斯、萨克雷、乔治·埃略特、勃朗特姐妹的骂骂咧咧，较于柯南道尔他儿子福尔摩斯的天下无敌，Collins喜欢从家长里短搅出惊悚诡谲
