Object

U.S./Italian Extradition Treaty

Russell Angler grips Josh with its iron clause in the hallway's frantic stride: absent stamped assurances barring death penalty—penned by Georgia's DeKalb DA, beyond governor's writ—Italy springs the 13-year-old killer from San Battal prison. Paperwork's ghost haunts diplomacy; characters lunge against its unyielding text, voices sharpening as release deadline claws closer, transmuting treaty into a live wire of international brinkmanship.
