The Death Game

About this book

"Written with the power of a gritty novel, this documentary on the death penalty shows why justice and capital punishment don't mix. With a precision honed as an engineer, combined with his years in writing and creating film, Mike Gray zeroes in on issues of police brutality, pressures on prosecutors and judges seeking career advancement, and the frailty of eyewitness accounts. Gray puts you in the murder scene on page one and won't let you go until the final riveting paragraph." "In 1998, Gray changed the political landscape with his book, Drug Crazy: How We Got Into this Mess and How We can Get Out. His book is credited with turning the staunch Republican governor of New Mexico against the drug war. Now, with The Death Game, he has set out to transform the terrain of criminal justice."--BOOK JACKET.
