Amos Decker returns to his hometown on his late daughters birthday to visit the graveside of her and his wife.  As he is in town he is confronted by someone he put in his prison who asserts their innocence.  Before Amos is able to follow the man is killed in a horrific manner.  Amos begins to investigate what was his first case as a detective that sent a man to jail for life.  In Amos's obsessive quest for justice more people are killed.  The investigation runs it's tentacles throughout the town until the FBI takes notice and it becomes much more than an investigation into a long ago multiple murder.  Conspiracy, money, foreign influence, laundering and trafficking all come together before all is said and done.  
Throughout the story Amos is becoming more empathetic, less robotic and his brain is changing.
