Sashi Burgette vanished three years ago on her way to school. The night after the teenagerโs disappearance, ex-con Dylan Reeves was stopped for drunk driving.
An article of Sashiโs 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 Reevesโs execution, Sashiโs mother visits Jack Swyteck, doing pro bono work at the Freedom Institute, and delivers shocking news: โSashi called me.โ
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 outโunless 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 Sashiโs parents. As their gut-wrenching and hopelessly conflicting version of events unfolds in a Miami courtroom, it becomes clear there is something even more difficult to find than a long-missing girl . . .
