Detective Francis X. Loughlin’s first big case was solving the death of a female doctor, but unfortunately, Julian Vega, the convicted killer, got his release on a technicality just a few years later after a string of appeals. Inevitably, another murder arises bearing remarkable similarities with the case from twenty years ago so that Julian is the first man Loughlin suspects. However, thanks to advancements in DNA technology that hadn’t existed back then, evidence points in an impossible direction — the blood belonging to the woman Julian supposedly had killed in 1983 — and forcing Loughlin to rethink years of certainty. Now, Julian’s the only one who can help Loughlin solve this puzzling mystery and get to the truth of the matter.
