Author(s): Brian Freeman
A stunning, clever and unputdownable new Minnesota-based thriller from the masterful pen of a future giant.Lieutenant Jonathan Stride has never forgotten the case that made him decide to join the police force. Back in the 1970s, Laura -- sister of Stride's girlfriend -- was murdered. The obvious suspect was a vagrant, who slipped through the hands of the police, including Stride's detective hero Roy. Now, though, Stride's looking at the case in a new light. Tish Verdure, an old friend of Laura's, has come home: and she's certain that the killer was a local boy, now an attorney with connections at the highest level.

A secret that could have shattering consequences -- including a second murder...
