TY - SOUND N2 - Spencer Arrowood was a young, untried deputy sheriff when his testimony helped convict a Tennessee youth for the brutal slaying of two hikers along the Appalachian Trail. Now, twenty years later, a date has finally been set for Fate Harkryder's execution. But time has eroded Spencer's moral certainty of Fate's guilt and raised the specter of another murder committed more than a hundred years earlier. In 1833, Frankie Silver became the first woman in North Carolina to be hanged for murder. But what really happened so long ago becomes an obsession for Spencer Arrowood as the parallels between Frankie and Fate mount. Suddenly, Spencer is engaged in a race against time to keep history from happening all over again, and to save the life of a man who just may be innocent after all.
