David Boykoff is not the kind of man who speaks in abstractions. He doesn’t theorize about justice; he’s lived on the edge of it for nearly 40 years. In his powerful new memoir, A Life Worth Saving: A Private Investigator’s Memoir Fighting the Death Penalty, Boykoff doesn’t just document a career; he reflects on a personal reckoning that spans a childhood shaped by violence, a career built on fighting for those society has often cast aside, and a long path to reexamining the hate he was raised with.
