What this book is about
A man executed years ago for a crime may have been innocent — and the real killer has now struck again. Joanna Brady investigates a cold case that forces her to confront what the justice system did wrong, and what can still be made right. The eleventh Joanna Brady novel is Jance's most direct examination of wrongful execution and institutional failure.
