Has this book about a “slow, costly and ineffi cient” system—an “arbitrary,” “chaotic . . . merry-go-round,” in the words of one of the central fi gures—become outdated by the frequency with which Texas has carried out executions in the past ten years and by the burst of executions in states like Virginia, Oklahoma, and Missouri? (Indeed, a twenty-fi rstcentury “death belt” now runs north from Texas through Oklahoma and into Missouri. These three states regularly account for more than half of all executions each year. The former “death belt,” which ran from Florida to Texas across old Dixie, has been outdone, at least for now.)
