Two years ago William Bantling was put on death row by Florida''s Assistant State Attorney, CJ Townsend - for the torture and murder of eleven young women.

But now the three cops crucial to Bantling''s conviction have been brutally slain.

And what''s more, CJ knew them all - and the shocking secret they took to their graves.

But it''s clear that somebody else also knows the truth - though their reasons for wanting it kept quiet are very different to CJ''s.

Which leaves her with a terrifying choice: reveal the secret she swore to keep and stay alive - or be its last witness, and the next to die . . .
