Meanwhile, Lincoln Burrows sat in the gloom of death row, the electric chair’s shadow stretching toward him like a second set of bars. His last appeal was a joke written on legal paper. Veronica Donovan, his former flame and now his lawyer, had hit a wall: the evidence against him was sealed tighter than a maximum-security cell.
