A relentless investigator bent on uncovering the truth.
David Orlando is a private detective who is having an early mid-life crisis. Investigating petty crimes committed by petty people has worn him down emotionally. And his current case, investigating a bitter divorce of two of his college friends, is not helping. The case has ugly secrets that won't help his mental state.
But another case is brought to him. Lyndon Richardson was the reformist mayor of the small town of Linwood Springs when he and a friend were killed in a hit-and-run accident. The murders have never been solved, and Richardson's son wants one last shot at finding his father's killer. Orlando quickly discovers the mayor was an honest and decent man who had reformed a small town. The more he learns about the basic courage and decency of the late mayor, the more he wants to find the killer.
Following a twisted, murderous trail into the past, he discovers something he never expected to find - redemption.
A chilling whodunit of family secrets, love gone wrong, and a cold case that refused to stay buried.
