Book
1.a edición.
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.
Melvin Mars awaits his fate on Death Row. He was one of America's most promising football stars until, aged twenty-years-old, he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his parents just as he was due to begin a very lucrative contract with the NFL. When Amos Decker, newly appointed special agent with the FBI, hears the news that Melvin was saved in the final seconds before his execution because someone has confessed to the killings, he persuades his boss to allow him to carry out an investigation into the Mars murders.
