A Place Among The Dead

Thorough and unbiased, Among the Lowest of the Dead is a gripping narrative that provides an unprecedented journalistic look into the actual workings of the capital punishment system.'Has all the tension of the best true crime stories… This is journalism at its best.'–Library Journal'A compelling argument against capital punishment…. Examining politicians, judges (including Supreme Court Justices), prosecutors, defense attorneys and the condemned themselves, the author makes an effective case that, despite new laws, execution is no less a lottery than it has always been.'–Publishers Weekly'
