      This edge-of-the-seat suspense novel graphically depicts the final moments before a condemned killer's execution. The plot centers on Frank Beachum, an inmate who insists he is innocent of murdering a young pregnant woman. His only hope lies with reporter Steven Everett, who is depicted as deeply flawed—struggling with alcoholism and infidelity. In contrast, Beachum emerges as a more sympathetic character. The narrative critiques capital punishment, highlighting that state-sanctioned executions can be unjust, police investigations may be careless, and exonerating evidence can be overlooked. In this story, glaring inconsistencies are missed by authorities, but the troubled Everett, preoccupied with personal issues, manages to uncover the truth and identify the real killer just as time runs out. Klavan's relentless pacing and sharp writing enhance the story's tension, making the reader question the justice system. The film adaptation, starring Clint Eastwood, is likely to present Everett in a more favorable light.
