True Crime

The Novel

De: Andrew Klavan

Narrado por: Ramiz Monsef

In the heat of the city, a man is out of time: speeding in a beat-up Ford Tempo, blasting easy-listening music. Reporter Steve Everett drinks too much, makes love to his boss' wife, and has just stumbled upon a shocking truth: A convicted killer is about to be executed for a crime he didn't commit.

In the cold confines of Death Row, Frank Beachum is also out of time. Ready to say good-bye to the wife and child he loves and hello to the God he still believes in, Beachum knows he did not kill a convenience store clerk six years ago. But in a few hours - if Steve Everett can't find the evidence to stop it - a needle is going to pierce Frank Beachum's skin.

The killing machine is primed. The executioner is waiting. And so is the priest. Now the clock is ticking down and the race is on - between the reporter and his demons, between the system and its lethal flaws, between the last innocent man and society's ultimate crime....

Great Story

An entertaining story with insight to the true ugliness of capital punishment presented from multiple viewpoints.

Gripping story telling

Andrew Klavan is a master storyteller. Perhaps a bit more foul language than is necessary, but great story.

Amazing storytelling!

Klavan has a way of bringing you into the characters' psyche and feeling what they feel. This book does not disappoint and kept me on the edges of my seat the entire time!
