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 Jack Swyteck,
doing pro bono work at the Freedom Institute, 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 version of events unfolds in a Miami courtroom,
it becomes clear there is something even more difficult to
find than a long-missing girl . . .
