Daniel Friedman has done it again--only better.-- Michael Sears, bestselling author of Black Fridays Once, Detective Buck Schatz patrolled the city of Memphis, chasing down robbers and killers with a blackjack truncheon and a .357. But hes been retired for decades. Now hes frail and demented, and Rose, his wife of 72 years, is ill and facing a choice about her health care that Buck is terrified to even consider. The future looks short and bleak, and Bucks only escape is into the past. But Bucks past is under attack as well. After 35 years on death row, convicted serial killer Chester March finally has an execution date. Chester is the oldest condemned man in the United States, and his case has attracted the attention of NPR producer Carlos Watkins, who believes Chester was convicted on the strength of a coerced confession. Chesters conviction is the capstone on Bucks storied career, and, to save Chesters life, Watkins is prepared to tear down Bucks reputation and legacy.
