The director of a rape crisis center who was once a prosecuter is pulled back to the law when she is appointed to handle the death row appeal of a young man convicted of a rape and murder. This is a pretty good mystery with a lot of antsy moments.

Very interesting legal thriller.
A better than average read but a surprise ending that I did not see coming.
