Publisher's Synopsis
One ordinary day in the summer of 2006, Sarah Harper stops by the family farm to visit her grandfather. She soon finds herself caught up in a mystery centered around events that occurred seventy years earlier in her hometown of Waverly, including a horrific murder and the last public execution ever to take place on American soil. As Sarah learns more about the crime, the trial, the execution, and the housewife-turned-sheriff who presided over it all, she discovers that justice is not always just. And sometimes, our fate is sealed not only by the choices we make, but also by the lies we tell ourselves.
