The clock ticks down in a heart-pounding crusade for justice. Susan Lentigo's daughter was murdered twenty years ago and now, at long last, this small-town waitress sets out on a road trip all the way from Upstate New York to North Dakota to witness the killer's execution. On her journey, she discovers shocking new evidence that leads her to suspect the condemned man is innocent and the real killer is still free. Even worse, her prime suspect has a young daughter who's at terrible risk. With no money and no time to spare, Susan sets out to uncover the truth before an innocent man gets executed and another little girl is killed. "THE NECKLACE is an addictively readable story of a mother's quest for justice. Surprising, propulsive, and poignant. I inhaled this novel." MEG GARDINER, Edgar Award winning author.
