Requiem - Softcover
When Deborah Jones, rookie reporter on the Miami Herald, discovers that William Craig, an 82-year-old Scot on Death Row was a Second World War hero jailed for killing a Senator s son who raped his granddaughter her story provokes other victims of the politician s son to come forward. Deborah admires the old man but her determination to save him from execution has a personal agenda. She too has been the victim of a white date rape. In a race against time, she unearths a conspiracy involving the embittered Senator, a right-wing Governor who does coke and is a closet homosexual, and the Florida mafia boss, John Richmond alias Paul Fachetti who has a strong childhood link to the Senator. The Mob is prepared to kill to cover up Joe O Neill s sex crimes even ten years after his death. Deborah herself is the final target and in the desperate final countdown to secure a stay of execution she too will have to disregard the law.
