_______________________________________
An innocent man is days from execution. Only a guilty man can save him.
Travis Boyette is a murderer. Nine years ago, he strangled a high-school cheerleader and buried her body so it could never be found. Then, he watched and waited as police arrested Donte Drumm, a local football star with no connection to the crime.
Tried, convicted, and sentenced, Drumm was sent to death row whilst Boyette walked free.
Now, Donte Drumm is four days from execution. And as Boyette faces his own mortality, hehas finally decided to do what is right. He has decided to confess.
But how can he convince the state that they are about to execute the wrong man?

It was bloody good! But I have to say that after innocent man was killed the rest of the book was not interesting. It lost the sense, for me!

Wow! Never cried so much reading a book. John Grisham is fast becoming my favourite author. His insight, sense of social and moral justice, the details in his characters personalities are just sublime. What an author!

my first John Grisham book and now am a devoted reader. A different ending than I imagined at the start which made the whole book greatly enriched. Loved it and couldn't stop reading it. Excited now to start my next JG novel.
