Decker is visiting his hometown of Burlington, Ohio, when he's
approached by a man named Meryl Hawkins. Hawkins is a convicted
murderer. In fact, he's the very first killer Decker ever put behind
bars. But he's innocent, he claims. Now suffering from terminal cancer,
it's his dying wish that Decker clear his name.
It's unthinkable. The case was open and shut, with rock solid forensic
evidence. But when Hawkins turns up dead with a bullet in his head, even
Decker begins to have doubts. Is it possible that he really did get it
wrong, all those years ago?
Decker's determined to uncover the truth, no matter the personal cost.
But solving a case this cold may be impossible, especially when it
becomes clear that someone doesn't want the old case reopened. Someone
who is willing to kill to keep the truth buried, and hide a decades-old
secret that may have devastating repercussions . . .
