Executing Eve by Eric Mansfield
It’s 2034 and Governor Kaiser has returned Ohio to town square hangings as part of his new speedy-and-public execution policy for convicted killers given death sentences. That means a midnight death in the Medina town square is just hours away for Eve, who was found guilty of poisoning the judge she believes is responsible for her sister’s death after he rejected pleas from Eve and doctors hoping to intervene during a high-risk pregnancy. With crowds gathering outside the jail and little hope of an11th hour reprieve from the U.S. Supreme Court, Eve plays the one card she has up her sleeve in hopes of saving her life while also using what may be her final hours alive to face the choices that have made her the face of futuristic American justice.
