Más información sobre el libro

An innocent man is facing execution, and only a guilty man can save him. For every wrongly imprisoned individual, a guilty party remains free, indifferent to the injustice. Time reveals that the authorities are convinced of their case, leaving the real criminal feeling fortunate. He watches as the trial unfolds for the person wrongfully accused, relieved when the verdict is guilty, and amused by the self-congratulation of the police and prosecutors. Travis Boyette embodies this guilty party. In 1998, he abducted, raped, and murdered a popular high school cheerleader in a small East Texas town, burying her body to prevent its discovery. He is astonished when the police arrest and convict Donté Drumm, a local football star, sentencing him to death row. Nine years later, Travis is paroled in Kansas for a different crime, while Donté is just days away from execution. Suffering from an inoperable brain tumor, Travis decides to confess for the first time in his life. However, he faces the daunting challenge of convincing the legal system that an innocent man is on the brink of execution.
