A weary old man who'd die for a second chance meets a worthless punk who'd kill for one. Packy Connors is a drug addict, a thief, and a general lowlife whose only goal is to avoid jail just one more day. He's forever on the prowl for innocents to victimize, situations to exploit. 

Henry Barnes is a sad and lonely widower nearing the end of his days. His wealth can't assuage the pain of incessant, grinding guilt. 

A flash of violence brings them together and binds them forever in secrecy. 

State trooper Lew Horton is dissatisfied with the slipshod inquiry into the brutal murder of a privileged teenage girl. Aiming to clear the name of a missing suspect, he enlists trusted colleagues in a rogue investigation. With a wry perspective and unorthodox methods, Horton leads the troopers through the labyrinthine plot's bloody turns and twists. The shocking climax and the stunning resolution to a decades-old mystery will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned.
