Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Stephen King, Scott Turow and Robert Dugoni
When DEATH is your only hope...
Ascension Day is the most exciting and compelling death-row thriller since
The Shawshank Redemption
Only 47 days left until Larry Durrant's execution, but lawyer Lac McElroy is determined to save his client's life.
There are only three small problems: the evidence against Durrant is overwhelming, he's made a full confession, and he wants to die...
But Jac's hungry to make his mark and he knows something just isn't right about Larry Durrant's murder conviction. Trouble is, everyone thinks Larry's guilty, from the Louisiana Governor right down to the accused, who has confessed to the crime and now wants to make peace with his maker.
Jac soon discovers that someone doesn't want anyone — especially a lawyer — digging around this case. And they'll stop at nothing to make sure Larry's execution goes ahead on schedule. Now Jac must decide whether he's prepared to risk his career, his reputation and his life to save a man who, by his own admission, is a murderer . . .
REVIEWS:
'Matthews certainly knows how to keep the reader hungry for the next revelation'.
- Kirkus UK.
Ascension Day is like a narcotic, laced with danger, and totally
addictive. Impossible to put down. This is what thrillers are meant to
be. Jac McElroy is a character I want to read more of.
- Jon Jordan. Crime Spree Magazine.
Goes to the wire... a gripping thriller.
- The Scotsman.
'If John Grisham ever developed a sense of irony, or Scott Turow ever tried to write from the other side of the prison bars, they might come up with something like John Matthews’s Ascension Day. This is a book that doesn’t sacrifice style for suspense, or character for plot. The legal thriller has needed a jolt of electricity for a few years now and Matthews may just be the man to throw the switch.'
- Peter Blauner,
Author of Slipping Into Darkness and The Intruder.
