When personal agendas take over a murder investigation….
…and the only one paying attention is the victim.
The students and faculty of Ohio University were enjoying another spring semester until rookie reporter Sam Kutchner uncovers a series of anonymous threats aimed at so-called “renegade, liberal professors.” And when the news is followed by Professor Keeler’s sudden disappearance, hysteria quickly overtakes campus with thoughts of a murderer on the loose, forcing Sheriff Atwell, the mayor’s political hack, to hastily make an arrest.
Professor Keeler always did have suspicions about how much justice actually came out of the justice system. But he never thought of putting those suspicions to the test. Until now.
A scheme to stage his own murder in order to prove how personal agendas can get in the way of a homicide investigation was nothing short of a gamble. And allowing his best friend to play the role of suspect was never meant to involve even a single day on death row. But things don’t always go as planned. And as the execution nears, Professor Keeler’s attempt to uncover a conviction based on lies is thwarted by someone who doesn’t want the truth revealed. Now it’s all up to Sam. But no one is listening. And time is running out…
