At the age of eighty, Melissa Ann Parker was the oldest woman ever
to be executed in the state of Texas. Her crime of passion-the
murder of her only son, Kendall-was one that she refused to ever
explain. She took the reasons for her actions with her into death.
During her twenty-year tenure on Death Row, she meets reporter
Charlie Dodson, who is sent to interview the oldest person awaiting
execution in Texas. Charlie becomes enchanted with this strange,
ethereal woman, continuing to visit her until her demise. After her
death, he discovers that she has left her considerable estate to
him. In order to put her memory to rest, he resolves to uncover the
reason for her crime. His efforts lead him down a path of
corruption so dark and evil, the worst criminal would have loathing
for persons who could involve themselves in such a venture.
Charlie's quest for understanding is rich in intrigue, deception,
vice, and danger, but he can't step away until he knows why Melissa
Ann chose to brutally murder her only son.
