When retired Judge Corwin Ashby is found dead in his locked study, Detective Marcus Reyes expects another difficult case. Instead, he finds an old evidence box tied to a twenty-year-old murder conviction-one that Marcus thought was buried forever.
The case involves Daniel Voss, a man convicted of murdering his wife and young daughter. But as Marcus begins examining the evidence again, disturbing questions emerge. A forensic technician connected to the original investigation is dead. An attorney who once prosecuted Voss has begun trying to reopen the case. And evidence that should have been forgotten is suddenly disappearing.
With every new discovery, Marcus is forced to confront memories from the beginning of his own police career-and the possibility that the case that shaped his life was built on a lie.
Someone has spent twenty years making sure the truth stayed buried.
Now the past is coming due.
