Rene Denfeld's day job is death penalty investigator. Over the course of
numerous novels she has touched upon those experiences in fictional
ways. In her latest, The Talking Bone," she goes deeper, right to the
bone.
Her protagonist is Ruby and she's racing time in trying to get a man
exonerated in Georgia where he is two weeks away from execution. An
impossibility it would seem. But that's why we read novels, right? We
want to experience things that don't seem possible. When you finish
reading this book I want you to think about what an experience you just
had, then go back and read her other books. Every one of them is worth
your time.
