Let the Guilty Pay

"A cleverly plotted, deftly paced page-turner ... Treon dispenses the well-earned twists and reveals with the stiletto precision of a master." - USA Today bestselling author Heather Young

Bartholomew Beck has a secret.

He saw who killed his neighbor, but he lied to the police and now the wrong man is on Death Row.

Oh, and he wrote a best-selling true crime book on the murder, further cementing his lies.

Twenty years after Summer Foster's death, Beck's writing career has gone cold. He is working on a Texas oil pipeline and trying to get through the day when he finds a co-worker beaten to death with a screwdriver sticking out of her right eye - just like Summer.

This time he has to come clean with what he knows and Let the Guilty Pay.
