Book summary

Retired police chief Mario Balzic has a new job. He's working for the Rocksburg, PA Attorney General's office, and he's been assigned to a 17-year-old murder. Why? The man serving the time, Lester Walin, is innocent--that is, according to the lowlifes whose testimony originally put him away.
