Birmingham detectives Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco arrive at the scene of a double homicide to discover that nothing makes sense. A woman and her child are dead, and though the husband says he killed them, the evidence says otherwise. Why would a man confess to unspeakable murders he didn't commit? What starts as an open-and-shut case explodes into a web of new leads. Devlin and Falco get to work tracking down every single one--including a disturbing connection between the murders and Falco's dark past. Falco knows the incident from eight years ago will jeopardize the partnership he's built with Devlin, both on and off the job. If he could go back, he would--but what happened happened, and there's a murderer on the loose. Devlin and Falco must slog through the pain to get to the truth; and so far the only truth they know is that everyone is lying.
