THE CONFESSION - JOHN GRISHAM (HÖRBUCH)

An innocent man is about to be executed. Only a guilty man can save him. For every innocent man
sent to prison  there is a guilty one left on the outside. He doesn't understand how the police
and prosecutors got the wrong man  and he certainly doesn't care. He just can't believe his
good luck. Time passes and he realizes that the mistake will not be corrected: the authorities
believe in their case and are determined to get a conviction. He may even watch the trial of
the person wrongly accused of his crime. He is relieved when the verdict is guilty. He laughs
when the police and prosecutors congratulate themselves. He is content to allow an innocent
person to go to prison  to serve hard time  even to be executed. Travis Boyette is such a man.
In 1998  in the small East Texas city of Sloan  he abducted  raped  and strangled a popular
high school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found  then watched in
amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm  a local football star 
and marched him off to death row. Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in
Kansas for a different crime  Donté is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from
an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time in his miserable life  he decides to do what's
right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers  judges  and politicians that
they're about to execute an innocent man?
