Burger Before Execution

"One final meal. One forgotten diner. One truth too bitter to swallow."

On death row, convicted murderer Miles Carter has one final request: a burger from a long-defunct roadside diner called Joe's Grill.

His lawyer, Rachel Lin, thinks it's just a nostalgic craving until her search to fulfill that last wish uncovers a decades-old mystery. With only 48 hours left before the execution, Rachel and her intern Leo dig into a past riddled with missing tapes, a burned restaurant, a vanished boy, and a judge with secrets of his own.

As they unravel the greasy layers of this seemingly simple case, they discover that the burger wasn't just a meal it was a message. A memory. A plea.

Burger Before Execution is a haunting psychological thriller about memory, guilt, and the rot within a broken justice system. Tense, emotional, and deeply human, this novel will grip fans of True Detective, The Night Of, and The Green Mile.
