An innocent man is about to be executed, and only a guilty man can save him, but how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they're about to execute an innocent man . . . ?

The law, by its nature, creates drama, and master storyteller John Grisham's The Confession promises readers an inside look at the dirty machineries of process and power, with plenty of entertainment along the way. 

"The Confession is the kind of grab-a-reader-by-the-shoulders suspense story that demands to be inhaled as quickly as possible, but it's also a superb work of social criticism ... Brilliant" -- The Washington Post
