Book Description Hardback. A reporter is the only hope for an innocent man on death row for murder--while the real killer roams free--in this "riveting, provocative" thriller (Publishers Weekly). When burnt-out Miami reporter Matt Cowart receives a letter from a death row inmate pleading his innocence, he is tempted to dismiss it. But as the newspaperman digs into the case of Robert Earl Ferguson, an African American given the death penalty for the brutal slaying of a white girl, he begins to believe that Ferguson is the real victim of hate and prejudice. And if he doesn't act, the wrong man is going to be executed. In the months that follow, Cowart's investigative articles not only set Ferguson free, but make Cowart a celebrity and win him a Pulitzer Prize--and set in motion a new chain of unimaginable horror. For there is monster out there, and he is not through with killing. . . . Includes a preface by the author "Tense, exciting, and very, very real." --The Detroit News "A classic cat-and-mouse story." --Orlando Sentinel "Katzenbach is a skilled storyteller. . . . With admirable subtlety . . . he] manages to address the disturbing issues of race and crime. . . . Powerful." --Chicago Tribune "The criminal mind, racial bias, journalistic ego and the flawed fabric of the American criminal justice system are potent raw materials for psychological suspense master Katzenbach." --Publishers Weekly "Terrific . . . His best book by far." --Lawrence Block 1992. First edition. A near fine copy only marked by light age tanning to the edges of the text block. The d/w is very good with light shelf rubbing.
