Author and Pulitzer Prize Winner Gilbert King

Join us for a powerful conversation with Gilbert King, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Devil in the Grove, as he discusses his latest book, Bone Valley: A True Story of Injustice and Redemption in the Heart of Florida.
In 1987, a young woman named Michelle Schofield was found murdered in central Florida. Her husband, Leo Schofield, was quickly charged, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison—despite flimsy evidence, sloppy police work, and ignored witness statements. For more than three decades, Leo has maintained his innocence.
When Gilbert King begins investigating the case years later, he uncovers layers of corruption, false testimony, and systemic failure. What he finds is both shocking and deeply human: a story of injustice, faith, and grace. Bone Valley is more than a true-crime narrative—it’s a searing examination of how the criminal justice system can go wrong and how one man’s dignity and forgiveness can endure even behind bars.
In this interview, Gilbert King shares:
• The new evidence and revelations that challenge Leo Schofield’s conviction.
• How the story became one of the most talked-about wrongful conviction cases in Florida.
• The emotional connection between journalist and subject, and the power of persistence in the search for truth.
• Why Bone Valley is not just about crime and punishment—but about hope, humanity, and redemption.
📖 Bone Valley is a landmark work of investigative nonfiction and a haunting story about truth, faith, and justice in modern America.
Perfect for fans of true crime, investigative journalism, wrongful conviction stories, and justice reform.
