Publisher's Synopsis
A race against time becomes a battle for the soul in this suspenseful story from New York Times best seller Jeffery Deaver.
Death is a topic Bradford Douglas is intimately familiar with. The young attorney is on a crusade against capital punishment. He's saved a number of death row inmates, but none of his cases has been as tough as the one he now faces: Henry Combs, a vicious serial killer, has only hours to live when Douglas is summoned for a Hail Mary attempt to have the man's sentence commuted to life imprisonment.
As Douglas races to pursue whatever strategies he can think of, he finds his passion for justice giving way to something altogether different.
An obsession.
