| book description |

One murder, four guilty convictions, and a community determined to find justice. October, 1997. Late one night in Fairbanks, Alaska, a passerby finds a teenager unconscious, collapsed on the edge of the road, beaten nearly beyond recognition. Two days later, he dies in the hospital. His name is John Gilbert Hartman and heâ€™s just turned 15 years old. The police quickly arrest four suspects, all under the age of 21 and of Alaska Native and American Indian descent. Police lineup witnesses, trials follow, and all four men receive lengthy prison terms. Case closed. But journalist Brian Patrick Oâ€™Donoghue canâ€™t put the story out of his mind. When the opportunity arises to teach a class on investigative reporting, he finally digs into what happened to the â€œFairbanks Four.â€ A relentless search for the truth ensues as Oâ€™Donoghue and his students uncover the lies, deceit, and prejudice that put four innocent young men in jail. The Fairbanks Four is the gripping story of a brutal crime and its sprawling aftermath in the frigid Alaska landscape. Itâ€™s a story of collective action as one journalist, his students, and the Fairbanks indigenous community challenge the verdicts. Itâ€™s the story of a broken justice system, and the effort required to keep hope alive. This is the story of the Fairbanks Four.
