When a convicted killer is kept by another man’s confession, Amos Decker, right now an FBI special task drive detective, must find the reality with this ‘absolutely absorbing’ #1 NY Instances bestseller (Associated Press).

Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is certainly counting straight down the last hours before his execution–for the violent killing of his parents two decades earlier–when he’s granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime.

Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI particular task drive, about The Last Mile takes a pastime in Mars’s case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both guys were talented soccer players with promising professions cut brief by tragedy. Both men’s family members had been brutally murdered. And in both instances, another suspect emerged forward, years following the killing, to confess towards the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth.

The confession gets the potential to make Melvin Mars–guilty or not–a free man. Who would like Mars out of prison? And why right now?

But when an associate of Decker’s team disappears, it becomes very clear that something very much larger–and more sinister–than just one single convicted criminal’s lifestyle hangs in the total amount. Decker will need most of his outstanding brainpower to stop an innocent guy from being performed.
