Responding to a killing during a riot inside a state penitentiary GBI investigator Will Trent is confronted with disturbing information. One of the inmates claims that he is innocent of a brutal attack for which he has always been the prime suspect, and that he was framed by a corrupt law enforcement team led by Jeffrey Tolliver. If this is true, a serial killer who has been systematically preying on women across Georgia for years is still out there. Only days ago, another young woman was viciously murdered in a state park. Could it be the same killer? If Will reopens the investigation and implicates the dead police officer with a hero's reputation of wrongdoing, the opportunistic convict will provide crucial information about the riot murder. Yet nearly a decade has passed-time for memories to fade, witnesses to vanish, evidence to disappear. His best chance at discovering the truth might lie with the person he doesn't want involved: his girlfriend and Jeffrey Tolliver's widow, medical examiner Sara Linton. When the past and present begin to collide, Will realizes that everything he values is at stake...
