Summary from Goodreads:
Sage Singer, who befriends an old man who's particularly beloved in her community. Josef Weber is everyone favorite retired teacher and Little League coach and they strike up a friendship at the bakery where Sage works. One day he asks Sage for a favor: to kill him. Shocked, Sage refuses…and then he confesses his darkest secret - he deserves to die, because he was a Nazi SS guard. Complicating the matter? Sage's grandmother is a Holocaust survivor.
What do you do when evil lives next door? Can someone who's committed a truly heinous act ever atone for it with subsequent good behavior? Should you offer forgiveness to someone if you aren't the party who was wronged? And most of all - if Sage even considers his request - is it murder, or justice?
Jodi Picoult has yet to steer me wrong and this story just sounds amazing!! I can't wait for February 26th to get here!
Happy Reading!

I haven't read any Picoult in a while, because I really disliked Handle with Care and Change of Heart. However, I love the premise of this one. I can't wait to read it either!
