Notes on an Execution

Ansel Packer is scheduled to die in twelve hours. While he knows what he has done, he wants to be understood. However, this is not his story; it is the story of the women whose lives he disrupted. Through the perspectives of his mother, his wife's sister, and the detective who hunted him, the novel deconstructs the trope of the serial killer. It is a haunting, lyrical examination of systemic failures, the ripple effects of violence, and the lives left in the wake of tragedy.
