An innocent man is about to be executed.
Only a guilty man can save him.
For every innocent man sent to prison, there is a guilty one left on the outside. He doesn’t understand how the police and prosecutors got the wrong man, and he certainly doesn’t care. He just can’t believe his good luck. Time passes and he realizes that the mistake will not be corrected: the authorities believe in their case and are determined to get a conviction. He may even watch the trial of the person wrongly accused of his crime. He is relieved when the verdict is guilty. He laughs when the police and prosecutors congratulate themselves. He is content to allow an innocent person to go to prison, to serve hard time, even to be executed.
Travis Boyette is such a man. In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, he abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high-school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row.
Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime; Donté is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what’s right and confess.
But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they’re about to execute an innocent man?

Any additional comments?
Grisham is amazing with his editing to the story that leaves on just the right notes that make you sway before landing on what happens next. The situation is near impossible, but just crazy enough to be seen happening now. This book was captivating and leaves a clear picture in your head while everything plays out. How this book unfolds makes you want to hold on to something for stability. The ending was perfect and made me smile in a horrible way. I won't ruin it, but it's nice to read something so relatable, and foreign. Truly entertaining.Gripping from beginning to end

The reading was a bit slow for me - I listened via an Android phone and I was very grateful that the Android audible app allowed me to increase the speed of the narrator's speech! That being said, I am generally a fast reader and speaker. The audio book is also ~15 hours so there's a lot to get through. The narrator's speed matches the tone of the book well and the setting - much of the story unfolds in Texas and the thought patterns of the characters are necessarily slow and reflective. I just wanted to get through the book faster.
Enjoy!
