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' 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....

I love Klavan's art! I often listen to his podcast and have read some of his other works and thoroughly enjoyed them. So far, I think this is his masterpiece although I think he is prouder of "The Great Good Thing."
I totally got a kick out of the guy that did the intro and the farewell (not the reader) mispronouncing Klavan both times as if it rhymes with cavern. Drew is always telling us how to spell his name. "... there are no "e's" in Klavan. But who knew that the real danger would be someone introducing his book who doesn't know the long "ā" from the short one in Klāvan? That made me laugh out loud.
But I thought the narrator did a very good job.
Gripping! Great descriptive prose!
