520    "Before Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich begins a summer job 
       at a law firm in Louisiana, working to help defend men 
       accused of murder, she thinks her position is clear. The 
       child of two lawyers, she is staunchly anti-death penalty.
       But the moment convicted murderer Ricky Langley's face 
       flashes on the screen as she reviews old tapes -- the 
       moment she hears him speak of his crimes -- she is 
       overcome with the feeling of wanting him to die. Shocked 
       by her reaction, she digs deeper and deeper into the case.
       Despite their vastly different circumstances, something in
       his story is unsettlingly, uncannily familiar. Crime, even
       the darkest and most unsayable acts, can happen to any one
       of us. As Alexandria pores over the facts of the murder, 
       she finds herself thrust into the complicated narrative of
       Ricky's childhood, and by examining his case, is forced to
       face her own story, unearth long-buried family secrets, 
       and reckon with a past that colors her view of Ricky's 
       crime."--|cProvided by publisher.
