About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A gripping legal thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author and creator of Sooley and The Judge's List.

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. But, as Boyette faces his own mortality, he has finally decided to do what's right. He has decided to confess.

But can he convince the state that they are about to execute the wrong man?

A good racy piece of work by Grisham. If you thought we should bring back the death penalty in UK this is just the book for you. It fairly flies throught the pages and even though you think you know how it will end, you are never quite sure. Glad I bought it.

Grisham struts his stuff
