A drug dealer shot dead
A body is found shot in the back of the head – hidden in a local quarry near the small, remote town of Hanson Valley, Ohio.

The case is closed
The police, the defense lawyer and the rest of the town think it’s an open-and-shut case: Jude Sterling’s a psycho. Of course he would kill a man. For Jude’s family, Private investigator Colter Shaw is their last hope.

But someone is hiding a secret
If Jude is innocent, that means the real murderer has walked free. And Shaw soon finds that not every resident of Hanson Valley wants this case reopened…
