"A full-throttle thriller, bristling with political, social, and ethical intrigue." -Luke Swanson, author of The Other Hamlet Brother "Like William Munny in Unforgiven, Smith Driskill is tough and resilient." -Laya V Smith, author of The Lumbermill When Smith Driskill, a 55-year-old east Texas farmer, widowed and abandoned by his children; dramatically executes child molester and murderer Rodney William Markum; he is unprepared for the ensuing media circus painting him as a hero or the political free-for-all that ensues when he chooses residence on death row over a day in court. Why is Driskill determined to die on death row, and why have so many people pledged to stop him? The odd pairing of smitten Detective Nathan DeRidder and rising reporter Kayla Cope race to unravel the mystery behind Driskill's deathwish, while he battles the forces pledged to stop him.

Autorenporträt
While Texas's greatest storytellers Cormac McCarthy and Larry McMurtry focused on the western plains, Sojka focuses on southeast Texas's Big Thicket, Piney Woods, Neches River and the area's eccentrics. Few authors' voices more closely mimic the people and the rich environment they describe.Sojka's plot twists often dare readers to connect the dots, but his devotion to character arcs and off-beat dialogue prompted critics to award his last novel 39: Your Last Birthday the Maxy Award for Literature and Humor and a Readers' Favorite Silver Medal for Southern Fiction.Sojka still lives in southeast Texas with his wife. He writes, runs, paddleboards, and aspires to smoke the perfect brisket.
