Writer and filmmaker STEPHEN TROMBLEY. His latest project is a book and documentary, "The Execution Protocol: Inside America's Capital Punishment Industry." (Crown Publishers). The book has little to do with the morality of taking a life. It's more about practical business of causing someone to die. The book is about the workings of the Potosi Correctional Center in Missouri where the staff makes "compulsively fastidious preparations" making sure that everything from the phone lines (incase of a last-minute pardon) to the execution equipment works properly. TROMBLEY also focuses on the work of Fred Leuchter, a specialist in the design and construction of execution devices.
