__________
Two years ago William Bantling was put on death row by Florida's Assistant State Attorney, CJ Townsend - for the torture and murder of eleven young women.
But now the three cops crucial to Bantling's conviction have been brutally slain.
And what's more, CJ knew them all - and the shocking secret they took to their graves.
But it's clear that somebody else also knows the truth - though their reasons for wanting it kept quiet are very different to CJ's.
Which leaves her with a terrifying choice: reveal the secret she swore to keep and stay alive - or be its last witness, and the next to die . . .
