Truman Wiley used to report news stories from around the world, but now the most troubling headlines are his own. He's out of work, out of touch with his family, out of his home. But nothing dogs him more than his son's failing heart.
With mounting hospital bills and Truman's penchant for gambling his savings, the situation seems hopeless . . . until his estranged wife throws him a lifeline—the chance to write the story of a death row inmate, a man convicted of murder who wants to donate his heart to Truman's son.
As the execution clock ticks down, Truman uncovers disturbing evidence that points to a different killer. For his son to live, must an innocent man die? Truman's investigation draws him down a path that will change his life, his family, and the destinies of two men forever.

Truman Wiley had it all--a loving family and a successful career as an award-winning journalist--until his gambling addiction destroyed his life. As their son desparately needs a heart transplant, Truman's wife offers him a chance at redemption: write the biography of Terrelle Conley, a murderer on death row who wants to donate his heart to their son. As Truman interviews Terrelle and goes through his case, new evidence appears to point to his innocence. Should Truman come forward with this new information or keep silent and save his son's life? VERDICT The Christy Award-winning Fabry (Dogwood; Junebug; Amost Heaven) has written a nail-biter with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers riveted. Fans of Jerry B. Jenkins and Jodi Picoult might want to try this title.
