Donte Drumm is waiting to be executed for the murder of a young woman in Texas. He has always maintained his innocence, but a confession obtained during the investigation helped secure his conviction. Years later, another man approaches a minister with a terrible claim: he committed the crime and knows where the victim's body lies. With the execution approaching, the possibility of establishing the truth becomes a desperate race against official certainty and the passing hours. John Grisham follows the struggle to save a man whose fate has already been decided by the courts, bringing legal suspense into a story of conscience, prejudice and institutional failure. The result is a tense novel about the consequences of a system refusing to reconsider its own conclusions.
