Execution Day

The tense atmosphere really amplifies the moral dilemmas faced by characters. I'm curious whether this scenario was inspired by real events or pure fiction.

The story kept me on the edge of my seat, but the shift in tempo caught me off guard. Was this deliberate to heighten suspense or just a natural progression?

Jeffery Deaver expertly intertwines action with moral questions, but I wonder how much was planned from the start versus evolving during writing.
