A thrilling novella from #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden!
Death is coming for her… unless she finds the truth first.
Talia Kemper is on death row for murdering her husband. She had an alibi and no known motive, yet Talia’s unwavering protestations of innocence have always been ignored.
Then one day in the visiting area, she sees a man she's certain is her husband. But what does it mean if the person she's been convicted of killing isn't dead after all?
As the days tick away toward Talia’s execution, what will it take for her to be believed?
With all hope of an appeal fading away, the fate of a condemned murderess takes a shocking turn in a breathtaking novella from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid!
