This true crime story is about Jesse Tafero and his girlfriend, who were both convicted of killing two police officers. McGarrahan covered Tafero’s botched and grisly execution in Florida when she was a young reporter for the Miami Herald, Years later, the author returns to Florida to investigate the case, as evidence contradicting the state’s claim that Tafero was the murderer has surfaced She’s appalled at the indifference of state officials when confronted with the fact that they may have executed an innocent man. This book was a tough read for me, we are brought up to believe in our justice system and the idea that it can and does fail is utterly terrifying
