Jack Tobin, a Florida trial lawyer, is dedicated to ending capital punishment one prisoner at a time. Jack is convinced that doomed convict Henry Wilson is innocent, but can he delay execution and get Henry a new trial in time?

Benny Avrile is a small-time crook with his eye on an oilman's big billfold. But as he makes his move, a shot rings out and the oilman falls dead; Benny blacks out. Just when his fate is all but sealed, an old friend from Jack's past reaches out

The clock is ticking, two innocent men are facing the death penalty, yet the one person who Jack most wants to save - his beloved wife, Pat - may have the least time of all.

Disclaimer: I listened to this book through Audible’s Plus catalog, which makes no mention of it being part of any series, and I did not find this out until the book mentions it some hours in.


I don't know how to describe it. The book ranges from 'ehh' on some occasions, to 'okay' most of the time, to 'damn, that was pretty good' every now and then.

it was ok. (THIS BOOK IS PART OF A SERIES)
