Produktbeschreibung
Sashi Burgette vanished three years ago on her way to school. The night after the teenager's disappearance, ex-con Dylan Reeves was stopped for drunk driving. An article of Sashi's clothing was found in his truck, and a police videotape of his drunken explanation under interrogation sealed his fate at trial. Now, just days from Reeves's execution, Sashi's mother visits Miami criminal defense lawyer Jack Swyteck and delivers shocking news: ?Sashi called me.? The police dismiss the call as a cruel hoax. The state attorney refuses to consider the new evidence, insisting the case is closed. An innocent man may be executed, and time is running out unless his lawyers can locate Sashi. A man of principle who believes in justice, Jack jumps into the investigation. But nothing is what it appears to be. Not the victim. Not her alleged killer. And definitely not Sashi's parents. As their gut-wrenching and hopelessly conflicting versions of events unfold in a Miami courtroom, it becomes clear there is something even more difficult to find than a long-missing girl . . . The truth.
