Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi.

Publisher's Summary
Critic Reviews
"Seen small, it's one hell of a nail-biter. Seen large, it's an uncomfortably accurate picture of the escalating climate of violence and madness in our post-9/11 world." (Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly)
"Johanna Ward adds even more layers to this book with extraordinary performance of the materal....Ward's performance is more than just a recitation of words. She embraces Barker's prose, coaxes more meaning from it, and makes us understand it more fully." (AudioFile)
