The Confession | J. Grisham | Kharidobechobooks

In 1998, in a small East Texas town, a popular high school cheerleader is abducted and murdered. Her body is hidden, and police arrest Donté Drumm—a local Black football star who has no connection to the crime. 

 Coerced into a false confession and railroaded by a corrupt legal system, Donté is sentenced to death row. Nine years pass. 

With Donté just four days away from lethal injection, a career criminal named Travis Boyette steps forward. Suffering from an incurable brain tumor and desiring to do one right thing before he dies, Travis approaches a small-town minister to confess that he is the real killer. [

What follows is a frantic, high-stakes battle against an unyielding, bureaucratic justice system. The minister and a defense attorney must rush to expose the truth and stop an state-sanctioned execution before the clock runs completely out.
