Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When a universally admired Austin billionaire, dedicated humanitarian and patron of the arts, is found bludgeoned in her home, her husband Rafael - fifteen years her junior, the son of poor Mexican immigrants, who works as a cook - is the obvious and only suspect. He is tried, convicted, and sentenced to death; sent to death row where monsters like him belong. The only problem: he's completely innocent. Six years pass, when overlooked DNA evidence saves him from execution at the eleventh hour. He vows to use his regained freedom to take revenge on the people and the system that stole years of his life.
Rafael Zhettah relishes the simplicity and freedom of his life. He is the owner and head chef of a promising Houston restaurant, a pilot with open access to the boundless Texas horizon and a bachelor, content with having few personal or material attachments. When he finds Tieresse-billionaire, philanthropist, sophisticate, bombshell-sitting at one of his tables he also finds his soul mate, and his life starts again. And just as fast, she is brutally murdered in their home, he is convicted of the crime and sentenced to die. But for Rafael Zhettah, death row is not the end. It is only the beginning. Now, with his recaptured freedom, he will stop at nothing to deliver justice to those who stole everything from him.
