In the heat of the city, a man is out of time: speeding in a beat-up Ford Tempo, blasting easy-listening music. Reporter Steve Everett drinks too much, makes love to his boss's wife, and has just stumbled upon a shocking truth: a convicted killer is about to be executed for a crime he didn't commit.
In the cold confines of Death Row, Frank Beachum is also out of time. Ready to say good-bye to the wife and child he loves and hello to the God he still believes in, Beachum knows he did not kill a convenience store clerk six years ago. But in a few hours--if Steve Everett can't find the evidence to stop it--a needle is going to pierce Frank Beachum's skin.
The killing machine is primed. The executioner is waiting. And so is the priest. Now the clock is ticking down and the race is on--between the reporter and his demons, between the system and its lethal flaws, between the last innocent man and society's ultimate crime . . . .
From the Paperback edition.

A package of big, scary fun. (Stephen King)
A chilling novel of suspense (SUNDAY EXPRESS)
His prose is constantly engaging and has that overflowing feel only the best books and movies have... as shamelessly thrilling as a rollercoaster. (OBSERVER)
Impressive... cooly detached. Immensely detailed and totally convincing. (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
