More Description A suspenseful novel about the last-minute battle to save a man on death row and the uproar surrounding his case as his time runs out . . .
Weldon Whitmen was arrested for committing a series of robberies and bizarre sex crimes while out on parole. Now he's condemned to die. Claiming innocence, he makes headlines with his appeal--and two people decide to come to his aid.
One is a journalist who thinks the sentence is unjust. The other is a law librarian who has feelings for Whitmen. Amid public outcry and political warfare, they will fight the execution while the nation watches, unsure whether justice will ultimately be done . . .
This edgy, twisting tale comes from an Edgar Award-winning author whose works have been adapted for film and for television programs such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
