Nearly twenty years ago, college freshman April Goss was found dead in her bathtub, an apparent suicide. Suspicion soon fell on her boyfriend, Dan Corbeil, who was convicted of her murder and sent to prison. Case closed—or is it? Chrys Corbeil has never believed that her brother was guilty, and she hires Detroit PI Amos Walker to get answers. Walker's 29th case (after When Old Midnight Comes Along) is a cold case by any standard, but this relentless investigator sets out to find the truth.
