Tim Mills was not lazy. He was dyslexic. When Tim was growing up, no one had ever heard of dyslexia, or learning disabilities, so his father thought he was just lazy. His father's only cure for laziness was a good beating. Thus, violence was something Tim hated. That's why he could not figure out why Sissy, who had no real grudge against Walker, wanted to kill Walker. But Walker was dead and Sissy had been convicted of killing him at the first trial. But this was the second trial, the first reversed on appeal, and this was Tim's last chance to find out who really killed Walker. Would he get the answer by looking at the case from a dyslexic point of view?

FROM THE BOOK The sun descends and the moon rises, giving the only light that illuminates the darkness. Wind blows silently as if it is trying to tell me a secret. Our steps are quiet, we move like the wind walking along the forest floor, as we make our way to the hole I crawled out of just a few months ago. We whip past the trees, rocks, and grass like we are floating in the air. The animals in the forest are neither seen nor heard. They are hiding, but I know they are out there. I can hear the steady pace of their hearts and the blood flowing in their veins. We make it to our destination. No words spoken, no sentiments given. There is just quiet contemplation and preparation churning in our minds. I look at Jade and she nods. She quickly turns and climbs the tall tree, near me, looking like a spider silently climbing up a wall. I turn my attention away from Jade. She is now invisible to me. I will neither give away nor tell her whereabouts. She is a secret, one that I will pretend not to know. I look around through the darkness of night, taking my place, waiting for this game to begin. My stance is confident. My mind is calm. I survey my surroundings, like a predator who feels threatened, bracing for an attack. My eyes land on remnants of the trash bag that once held me inside. I laugh, Nate will have to do better this time if he wants to get rid of me. Nate is going to come into the forest confident and cocky. He doesn’t realize that the girl he is coming to kill isn’t the same one he had attempted to kill before.
