Or is he in Cache’s life only as the last face she sees before it goes dark? A psychological thriller? Yes, definitely. A legal thriller? Yes, definitely. And so much more.
From American Institute for Justice: Most engaging legal thriller of 2018 – destined to become #1 on Amazon Bestsellers charts. John Ellsworth has written the definitive novel about a young woman on death row in Washington State. She is 28 years old and knows only that she has a father she’s never met. His name is Michael Gresham. He is a lawyer.
From San Francisco Review of Books: This is the first John Ellsworth novel this reader has explored. It is so convincingly written – not only the spot on legal aspects, but also the fascinating characters he paints and involves in his complex plot – that it serves as a fine aperitif for his output. This man writes very well indeed.

I got a little tired of the same details being repeated over and over. It ended as I expected it to and that was a little disappointing. I like surprise endings.
This is the first book I read about defense lawyer Michael Gresham. Definitely kept my interest throughout. Lots of twists and turns. After reading this I went a found book 1 in the series and am now on book 4. All books so far are as interesting as this one!
I did enjoy this book. Unfortunately I never connected with the characters which is why I only gave it 3 Stars.
This is a book that I didn’t want to put down because I was so intrigued.
great book but hate the cursing
Keeps your interest. Good easy read
I really liked this book, it really opened my eyes to some of the problems with our justice system.
This is one of the best books yet with this character – I want to read more – i was afraid it would have a bad ending but the ending was perfect. I highly recommend this book; it was a fast read and great characters.

I didn’t care for the self-righteous actions of the attorney and his detective friend.
I’m not really a fan of books written in first person present tense but this book grabbed me from the first page and didn’t let go till the end. I’ve read thousands of books over the years and this is one of the most emotionally gripping books I’ve ever laid my eyes on.
Real good read
The daughter was such a hopeless case that I found it hard to be interested in the outcome of her death sentence. We all know death penalties are only carried out after 30 or 40 years and countless appeals. In a liberal state like the one she was incarcerated in, the death penalty wouldn’t be an option for a young woman barely out of her teens.
I found it hard to believe too that she was convicted on the basis of one of her johns developing HIV, then succumbing to AIDS. No way there could have been enough evidence to convict, much less sentence her to death.
The daughter had incurable STD, she was HIV positive. She had no education, she was helpless and hopeless. She was addicted to drugs, even while in prison, she was still using. (I can believe that part. Happens all the time.)
Maybe things changed after she meet her father, maybe she did go on to live a happy, healthy life. You’ll have to read the book to find out.
Well written book that was hard to put down. Original story about a death row inmate and the last attempts to save her.
This book is a good read. Not terribly deep, but good entertainment.
Interesting plot, we’ll developed characters, easily held the reader’S interest.
This is the 2nd book by this author I have read. His writing is compelling and you find it hard to put down. It is realistic and makes you consider so much about our justice system. I like the way he makes the premise fit into reality. I would certainly read more of his work.
New author for me. Def will read more……excellent.
Loved this book. My sister even bought it after I recommended it. Characters were great.
I couldn’t wait to get to the end and take my time and savor it all at the same time. It was a very good read
A great story, fast paced, easy to read, a page turner–I read it in two sittings. I recommend it to anyone that has had everything go wrong that can go wrong and does!! Then along the way and near , very near the end a fluke happens and all turns out fair!!!
