THE PRISONER AND THE EXEUCTIONER

Eliza Jacobs, a former midwife, high school counselor, and child advocate, is now a death row inmate. She was falsely accused and wrongly convicted of murdering Lydia Garth, a fifteen-year-old student. Today is Eliza’s execution day.

Brian Stafford, The Executioner and son of The Warden, is scheduled to execute Eliza. The Executioner knows The Prisoner is innocent and he will not be complicit in killing her.

Lydia Garth, now Emma Maxwell, is a nineteen-year-old sexual abuse survivor living in Santa Fe. When Emma becomes aware of Eliza’s imprisonment she ‘rises from the dead’ and contacts the FBI.

In The Prisoner and The Executioner by Catee Ryan, the reader is drawn into the horrors of injustice, the dark side of human nature, and the transformative power of love.

Reviews

I really enjoyed reading this book by Catee Ryan. I became very invested in the story and characters. The subject is difficult, extreme sexual abuse, but it is handled with a deep compassion. There is also an elevated thread of light and healing woven throughout. A strong, uncompromising work. Highly recommend.

The Prisoner and the Executioner gripped me from the first page. Catee Ryan masterfully weaves the narrative from the first-person viewpoints of many characters. Engaging and suspenseful I couldn't put it down.

If you want to know about The Basement Club, you better read this book. Shocking. Suspenseful. This book drew me in and held my attention from beginning to end!

Every so often a book comes along that stops you in your tracks, touches your soul. Sometimes it’s the story, sometimes the writing, sometimes, both. This book did both. From the first few pages, I was drawn in to the characters and their story. I found myself wanting to hurry and finish up whatever I needed to do so I could return to this book. So incredibly well written and the characters so alluring. If you only have time to pick one book to read, this is a must read. I can’t wait for Catee Ryan to share her talent again. I hope this is one of many. It is incredible.
