The clock ticks down in a heart-pounding crusade for justice Susan Lentigo's daughter was murdered twenty years ago--and now, at long last, this small-town waitress sets out on a road trip all the way from Upstate New York to North Dakota to witness the killer's execution. On her journey she discovers shocking new evidence that leads her to suspect the condemned man is innocent--and the real killer is still free. Even worse, her prime suspect has a young daughter who's at terrible risk. With no money and no time to spare, Susan sets out to uncover the truth before an innocent man gets executed and another little girl is killed. But the FBI refuses to reopen the case. They--and Susan's own mother--believe she's just having an emotional breakdown. Reaching deep, Susan finds an inner strength she never knew she had. With the help of two unlikely allies--a cynical, defiant teenage girl and the retired cop who made the original arrest--Susan battles the FBI to put the real killer behind bars. Will she win justice for the condemned man--and her daughter--at last? Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Harlan Coben Optioned for film--with Leonardo DiCaprio attached as producer

Susan Lentigo‘s 7-year-old daughter Amy was raped & murdered 20 years ago., & now she is on her way from upstate New York to North Dakota to witness the convicted killer‘s execution. Her road trip does not go smoothly., as along the way, her car breaks down & her money is stolen. Loved the road trip portion of the book was really interesting as it revealed what a courageous, determined woman Susan was. I was emotionally invested in this character.

Lsmoore43 I enjoyed this one too. It made me shed some tears but it was well written and just good. 3y
Reecaspieces @Lsmoore43 agreed! It is emotional. Something I did not put in my review. Not sure anyone caught it. When she called the retired FBI agent. He left on his recording that he was out of town and where…no law enforcement officer would put that on their answering machine. 3y
Lsmoore43 @Reecaspieces He could have maybe. He was retired. I did figure out pretty early on who was the “worse piece of trash“ in this book. lol I hated that murderer. From the minute I figured it out I honestly hated them. (trying to give nothing away here)

Susan Lentigo‘s daughter was murdered 20 years ago. She travels from Upstate New York to North Dakota to witness the killer‘s execution. She discovers new evidence that the condemned man is innocent and the real killer is free. The prime suspect has a young daughter who is at risk. Susan must act quickly before his daughter is killed.

EadieB Susan battles the FBI to put the real killer behind bars. Will she win justice for the condemned man—and her daughter—at last? Matt Witten has written an unforgettable read with believable characters and a fast-paced twisty plot. I will be reading Witten's Jacob Burns Mystery series which I own and highly recommend this book if you enjoy mystery books. I would like to thank NetGalley and Oceanview Publishers for a free copy for an honest review. 3y
