A supercharged, exquisitely suspenseful novel about a vicious triple murder and the man condemned to die for it. Rommy “Squirrel” Gandolph is a Yellow Man, an inmate on death row for a 1991 triple murder in Kindle County. His slow progress toward execution is nearing completion when Arthur Raven, a corporate lawyer and Rommy’s reluctant representative, receives word of new evidence that will exonerate Gandolph.
Arthur’s opponent is the formidable prosecuting attorney Muriel Wynn. Together with Larry Starczek, the original detective on the case, she is determined to see Rommy’s fate sealed. Meanwhile the judge who originally found him guilty is just out of prison herself. Scott Turow’s compelling, multidimensional characters take the reader into Kindle County’s parallel yet intersecting world of police and small-time crooks, airline executives and sophisticated scmmers – and lawyers of all stripes. No other writer offers such a convincing picture of how the law and life interact, or such a profound understanding of what is at stake personally, professionally, and morally – when the state holds the power to end a man’s life.
