Final judgment

Katzenbach, master of psychological suspense, once again confronts us with a plot as hypnotic as those of The Psychoanalyst and The Madman's Tale.

Matthew Cowart, a famous Miami journalist, receives a letter from a man condemned to death who claims to be innocent. Despite his initial skepticism, Cowart begins to investigate the case, realizes that the accused did not commit the crimes he is charged with, and uncovers information through his articles that allows convicted Robert Earl Fergurson to be released.

Cowart then receives a Pulitzer Prize for his journalistic work. However, and to his horror, the writer realizes that he has set in motion a tremendous killing machine and that now it is up to him to try, in a race against time, to achieve justice outside the courts.

John Katzenbach has a long career as a journalist specializing in judicial matters. With The Psychoanalyst he surprised the world with a shocking thriller.
