Zella Grisham never denied shooting her boyfriend. Thats not why she did eight years of hard time on a sixteen-year sentence. Its that the shooting inadvertently led to charges of grand theft. Talk about bad luck. Leonid McGill has reasons to believe shes innocent. But reopening the case is only serving to unsettle McGills private life even further--and expose a family secret thats like a kick to the gut.

Or ever forgive.About the Author:Walter Mosley is one of Americas most celebrated, beloved, and bestselling writers.
