Here's the synopsis: When a ruthless curator at San Francisco's McFall Art Museum is murdered, his wife is the primary suspect. She is tried, convicted, and executed. Ten years later, Jon Nunn, the detective who cracked the case, is convinced that the wrong person was put to death. With the help of the dead woman's friend, he plans to finally uncover the truth. Solving this case may be Nunn's last chance for redemption … but the shadowy forces behind this murder will stop at nothing to silence the past forever.
In our review of the book, we said "there's a terrific story being told" and the "plot is relentless in its pacing".
