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 then Hawkins later turns up dead with a bullet in his head, and 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."-- David Baldacci (Fictitious character) Decker, Amos Fiction Murder Fiction Judicial error Fiction Memory disorders Fiction Ohio Fiction PS3552.A446 R44 2019b 813/.54 Baldacci, David 9781538761410 1538761416 NjBwBT 190330 20190502003015.0 7103060 eng
