About this title

About the Author

James Sheehan was born and raised in New York City and grew up in a four-room railroad apartment with his five brothers and sisters. He started working at the age of twelve, shining shoes at a local shoe repair shop. At fourteen, he had a newspaper route. During school, he worked at a local delicatessen, an antique store where he stripped and delivered furniture, as a construction worked during the summers, a short-order cook throughout his college years, and as a roofer’s assistant while he attended graduate school in Florida.

He is currently a trial attorney in Tampa, where he's practised law for many years. His experience of growing up in New York has shaped his life.

From the Back Cover

Henry Wilson, a career criminal and the biggest man Jack has ever seen, has been on death row for seventeen years. His execution by lethal injection is just eight weeks away.

Small-time crook Benny Avrile takes part in a high profile robbery that ends in murder. The cops are in hot pursuit.

Both men will rely on trial lawyer and death-row advocate Jack Tobin to represent them. But dark clouds are on the horizon for Jack and his beautiful wife Pat.

Will the Law of Second Chances come into play for any of them?

Crime, dark secrets and a desperate race against time combine in a gripping legal thriller that is almost impossible to put down.
