Water Will Do
So much carnage. Not enough opera.
James DePompey has one passion—writing the words to operas. To meet his next deadline, he needs inspiration fast. Nora Martinz has a deadline, too. On death row for murder but claiming innocence, she’s days away from execution. The two cautiously meet. James decides that Nora is the perfect anti-heroine for his opera, and he wants her story. She agrees, but her help comes with a price. Someone mailed her a cryptic invitation to meet with the families of the very people she is convicted of killing. There are no day passes on death row. Would James be willing to go in her place? To right a horrific injustice will require every resource James can muster. First, he needs to save Nora from an impending lethal injection. Second, he needs to prove her innocence. And third, he’s got an opera to write.
