About this item

Melvin Mars, asesino convicto, esta contando las ultimas horas antes de su ejecucion, impuesta por haber dado muerte a sus propios padres de forma violenta dos decadas antes, cuando recibe un inesperado indulto: otro hombre ha confesado el crimen. Amos Decker, que se acaba de incorporar a una fuerza especial del FBI, se interesa en el caso tras descubrir unas llamativas similitudes con su propia vida: ambos hombres eran talentosos jugadores de futbol americano, cuyas prometedoras carreras habian sido truncadas por tragedias. Las familias de ambos hombres habian sido brutalmente asesinadas. Y en ambos casos, anos despues de los asesinatos otra persona confesaba el crimen. Una persona que podria --o no-- estar diciendo la verdad. La confesion tiene el potencial de hacer de Melvin Mars un hombre libre, sea o no culpable.



About the Author

David Baldacci

David Baldacci has been writing since childhood, when his mother gave him a lined notebook in which to write down his stories. (Much later, when David thanked her for being the spark that ignited his writing career, she revealed that she'd given him the notebook to keep him quiet, "because every mom needs a break now and then.") David published his first novel, ABSOLUTE POWER, in 1996. A feature film followed, with Clint Eastwood as its director and star. In total, David has published 41 novels for adults; all have been national and international bestsellers and several have been adapted for film and television. His novels have been translated into over 45 languages and sold in more than 80 countries, with 150 million copies sold worldwide. David has also published seven novels for younger readers. David received his Bachelor's degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law, after which he practiced law in Washington, D.C. David is also the cofounder, along with his wife, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy efforts across the United States. David and his family live in Virginia.
