Capital Offense Character Synopsis – Your Review
With the novel spread out over weeks, sometimes it can be a little more difficult to keep track of everyone than it is with a printed novel. Here are a few characters that you’ll want to keep in mind:
Kurt Stevens – Yep, Kurt (the author) had to go and name his main character after himself just to make things a little confusing, and a lot creepy. Kurt (the character) is the commissioned executioner for the State of Ohio’s Department of Justice. The law thinks he murdered his wife and now he’s...

I wedged myself into the car’s cockpit and was tempted to turn on the radio and listen to blues for a few hours. Instead, I sat in silence, trying and failing to steady my breathing.
Dawes was dead, and I only had one name—a single first name. My mind reeled with the price I’d paid for that name. Dawes said there were others. Three, maybe four. I felt sick.

Chapter 29: Tonya
I never deserved Tonya. When we were in elementary school I noticed her, but so did every other boy. She was the good girl, the teacher’s pet, the one all the boys wanted to show their pet frogs to and display their belching prowess to but could never gather the courage to do it.
