A twenty-year-old crime, an accelerated death penalty, and an elitist family cover-up forces eighteen-year-old Nyla to race against the death row clock to save her mother's best friend. - Thomas Nelson
A twenty-year-old crime, an accelerated death penalty, and an elitist family cover-up: Nyla races against the death row clock to save a woman the world is rooting for . . . and against. Which side will you choose?
Twenty years ago, eighteen-year-old Francis Quick was convicted of murdering her best friend, Cora King, and sentenced to death. Now the highly debated Accelerated Death Penalty Act has passed giving Frankie thirty final days to live. Surprising everyone, one of the King family members sets out to challenge the woefully inadequate evidence and potential innocence of Frankie Quick.
The at-first reluctant but soon-fiery Nyla and her unexpected allyâhandsome country island boy Sam Stackâbring Frankieâs case to the international stage through her YouTube channel, Death Daze. They step into fame and a hometown battle that someoneâs still willing to kill over. But who? The senator? The philanthropist? The pawn shop owner? Nylaâs own mother?
Best advice: Donât go to family dinner at the Kingsâ estate. More people will leave in body bags than on their own two feet. And as for Frankie Quick, sheâs a gem . . . even if sheâs guilty.
Praise for We Were Kings:

âBingeable. Atmospheric. A book that grabs hold and doesnât let go. We Were Kings offers a delicious mystery perfect for fans of We Were Liars and A Good Girlâs Guide to Murder. I savored every word from beginning to end.â âCaroline George, author of The Summer We Forgot
