Thriller Synopsis: 'Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution - for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier - when he's granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars's case after discovering the striking similarities to his won life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men's families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars - guilty or not - a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now? But when a member of Decker's team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger - and more sinister - than just one convicted criminal's life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.' From book jacket. Review: Really good story and a page-turner, to boot. READ. Very involved plot, lots of interesting characters, plot twists, surprises - a real rollercoaster ride! Well narrated. Recommended.

Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed. Book two of this series flowed much better for me. I found prison life depicted in an haunting way that I've heard to be true. Melvin is introduced along with much football lingo which pairs well with Amos of course. I'm a basketball & baseball fan but before this book reached it's end the football logic was making perfect sense, so on to #3. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Melvin Mars, asesino convicto, está contando las últimas horas antes de su ejecución, impuesta por haber dado muerte a sus propios padres de forma violenta dos décadas antes, cuando recibe un inesperado indulto: otro hombre ha confesado el crimen. Amos Decker, que se acaba de incorporar a una fuerza especial del FBI, se interesa en el caso tras descubrir unas llamativas similitudes con su propia vida: ambos hombres eran talentosos jugadores de fútbol americano, cuyas prometedoras carreras habían sido truncadas por tragedias. Las familias de ambos hombres habían sido brutalmente asesinadas. Y en ambos casos, años después de los asesinatos otra persona confesaba el crimen. Una persona que podría --o no-- estar diciendo la verdad. La confesión tiene el potencial de hacer de Melvin Mars un hombre libre, sea o no culpable. ¿Quién quiere que Mars salga de la prisión? Y ¿por qué ahora? Cuando un miembro del equipo de Decker desaparece, se torna evidente que hay algo mucho más importante y más sinestro en juego, que la vida de un convicto. Decker necesitará todo el poder de su extraordinario cerebro para evitar que un hombre inocente acabe ejecutado.
