**#1 *NEW YORK TIMES *BESTSELLER – An innocent man is about to be executed. Only a guilty man can save him.* * In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, Travis Boyette abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row. Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime; Donté is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what’s right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they’re about to execute an innocent man? ***Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, *THE EXCHANGE: AFTER* THE FIRM!***

I have not liked every book I’ve read by John Grisham, not because of the writing but because of the theme. Like many other people, I like to feel safe. Some stories are just too hard to bare. The Confession is a book that tackles a topic of justice that is always in the hot seat. The death penalty. The idea of an eye for an eye was supposed to die with the Old Testament. The idea that it has not always makes us wonder if the right person has been convicted. Would we want to be on death row if we were innocent? The Confession puts us in the Points of View of the accused – the innocent and the guilty, as well as others involved, such as the mothers of the victim and the wrongly accused and his attorney, and the pastor who gets pulled in to help the guilty man prove it was he who did it. Definitely a page-turner.
