520    "Tells the story of a traumatic life spent witnessing 
       hundreds of people being executed in Texas' most infamous 
       prison." -- Daily Beast "I can't remember his name or his 
       crime. What I remember is the nothingness. No family 
       members, no friends, no comfort. Maybe he didn't want them
       to come, maybe they didn't care, maybe he didn't have any 
       in the first place. It was just a prison official and two 
       reporters, including me, looking through the glass at this
       man strapped fast to the gurney, needles in both arms, 
       staring hard at the ceiling. When the warden stepped 
       forward and asked if he wanted to make a last statement, 
       the man barely shook his head, said nothing and started 
       blinking. That's when I saw it: a single tear at the 
       corner of his right eye. A tear he desperately wanted to 
       blink away, a tear he didn't want us to see. It pooled 
       there for a moment before running down his cheek. The 
       warden gave his signal, the chemicals started flowing, the
       man coughed, sputtered and exhaled. A doctor entered the 
       room, pronounced the man dead and pulled a sheet over his 
       head." -- Michelle Lyons, from the Prologue Michelle Lyons
       witnessed nearly 300 executions at the Texas State 
       penitentiary. This "haunting, dark and hard to put down" 
       behind-the-scenes look at those final moments of life 
       relates shocking true stories of the inmate, his/her 
       family members, prison officials, the death-row chaplain 
       and the victim's loved ones -- all of whom come together 
       in the death chamber ( Houston Chronicle )."--|cProvided
