Includes excerpt from author's next book, "Echoes", at the end of the book.

Grieving the death of his wife, private investigator Mark Novak reluctantly accepts a case from a suspected murderer who may or may not be innocent. Novak knows all too well that some crimes never get solved. But it's not often that the man who many believe got away with murder is the one calling for the case to be reopened. Ten years ago, a teenage girl disappeared inside an elaborate cave system beneath rural farmland. Days later, Ridley Barnes emerged, carrying Sarah Martin's lifeless body. Barnes has claimed all along that he has no memory of exactly where--or how--he found Sarah. His memory of whether she was dead or alive at the time is equally foggy. Tired of living under a cloud of suspicion, he says he wants answers--even if they mean he'll end up in the electric chair. But what's he really up to?
