The Last Appeal — Bill Blum

Five years ago defense attorney Peter Harrigan lost everything dear to him during the first death row appeal for his double-murder defendant. Now it's the last appeal before the gas chamber--and only one man holds proof of his client's innocence. As the trial clock ticks, Harrigan and the beautiful private investigator race to find an elusive fugitive, but the real killer--still at large--may stop at nothing to end their search forever.
