The Liar's Stand

In the summer of 2026, Alabama prosecutor Eli Crane watches in horror as a dead man walking, Lyle Decker, is executed for a driveway shooting he always swore was self-defense. When the real killer confesses on a live podcast just days later, Crane's guilt consumes him. A mysterious figure named Audra Voss emerges, possessing proof that Crane suppressed evidence. She doesn't want money—she demands Crane dismantle his own legacy from within, feeding him instructions through emotional manipulation that tightens like a noose. Crane begins a secret crusade to expose prosecutorial misconduct, but every move he makes is choreographed by Voss, whose true motive is a daughter lost to the system. As Crane sacrifices his career, family, and sanity, he discovers that escaping the prison of guilt requires a far more terrible price than a cell.
