Synopsis

Fireflies in the Delta is an examination of why innocent inmates in jail confess to crimes they did not commit. A deputy sheriff, motivated by an illicit love affair and hunger for power, gets an illiterate vagrant to confess to a murder commited by his lover's brothers. A newly elected, idealistic District Attorney refuses to use the false confession as the resolution of the case. This unwittingly draws him into a power struggle with the diabolical deputy and those in the criminal justice system aligned with him. The resolution of this struggle may be too true to life for many readers.
