Detective Ben Devlin arrives at a crime scene where Brooklyn Harris lies stabbed to death in his rented room. The name sends a chill through Devlin. Twenty years earlier, Harris beat his girlfriend Hannah Row to death and served twelve years in prison. Now someone has killed the killer. Devlin discovers Harris had been grooming teenage girls online since his release. A vigilante who exposed Harris becomes the prime suspect, but then forensics delivers shocking news. Harris died on the anniversary of Hannah's murder. Blood found on his body matches Hannah Row's DNA perfectly. The coincidence of dates points Devlin toward Hannah's family. But how can a woman murdered decades ago leave her blood on her killer's corpse? Devlin faces an impossible puzzle that challenges everything he knows about death, justice, and revenge. The case forces him to confront whether some crimes echo across time in ways that defy explanation.
