"It's all my grammy's fault. Ever since she tried to kill me. Actually, she tried to kill my whole family. All of us. My brother, my parents, a bunch of cousins, and several aunts and uncles. No one died, but now I smell like fish." Myles Walsh is a thirteen year old who has a talent for telling crazy stories that always seem to land him in trouble. When he discovers a dead body in a plastic bag hidden in the weeds near his house, he's about to play in the most important hockey game of his life. The last thing he needs is the body to disappear before the police get there. Of course, that's exactly what happens. Where did the body disappear to? Myles and his friends must uncover the dead man's identity and the story behind his death, or Myles can kiss his chance for hockey stardom goodbye. Little does Myles know that the dead man has a story of his own to tell. A story with the power to change lives.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment and an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty • "Stunning moral clarity.” —The Washington Post Book World • Basis for the award-winning major motion picture starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn "Sister Prejean is an excellent writer, direct and honest and unsentimental. . . . She almost palpably extends a hand to her readers.” —The New York Times Book Review In 1982, Sister Helen Prejean became the spiritual advisor to Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers who was sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisiana’s Angola State Prison. In the months before Sonnier’s death, the Roman Catholic nun came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying. She also came to know the families of the victims and the men whose job it was to execute—men who often harbored doubts about the rightness of what they were doing. Out of that dreadful intimacy comes a profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment. Here Sister Helen confronts both the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, the fears of a society shattered by violence and the Christian imperative of love. On its original publication in 1993, Dead Man Walking emerged as an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty. Now, some two decades later, this story—which has inspired a film, a stage play, an opera and a musical album—is more gut-wrenching than ever, stirring deep and life-changing reflection in all who encounter it.
