This is a gripping thriller. From the author of "The Last Goodbye" ("The best thing a thriller can be: suspenseful, intelligent and well-written" Harlan Coben) comes another gripping thriller, the story of a man trying to outrun his own past. Thomas Dennehy, senior prosecutor in Davidson County, Tennessee, doesn't recognize Nashville anymore: a decade of relentless immigration means cops are learning Spanish, and the DA's office is looking for Vietnamese translators. Thomas' latest case is prosecuting Moses Bol, a Sudanese refugee who faces the death penalty for killing a white woman in the Nations, a notorious, racially-charged part of town. Bol's conviction seems certain, until a university professor claims Thomas has sent the wrong man to the death chamber in a previous, also racially-charged case. The DA's office is rocked to the core, but another blow falls within days: a beautiful and brilliant anti-death penalty activist mysteriously surfaces as Bol's alibi, claiming she was with him at the time of the crime. Bol's case becomes a lightning rod as protestors on all sides converge on Nashville, threatening to tear the city apart.
Meanwhile, Thomas learns that the gorgeous woman who is Bol's alibi has her own secrets- and is terrified of someone working behind the scenes to get what he wants - even if it means murder."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
