About this book

A man wearing an eye patch arrives at a police station on a Friday night, disoriented and insisting he has a confession to make. He demands to write it out himself, and the process stretches across nineteen hours. Detective Caroline Mabry of the Spokane police finds herself investigating not just a murder, but the intertwined histories of two men. She must locate a body hidden somewhere in the city while piecing together a confession that reveals how a crime took a lifetime to commit. The novel explores the bonds and compromises made in childhood and the fatal errors that can occur at any point in life. It combines rich characterization with suspenseful plotting, moving between haunting and darkly funny moments while maintaining narrative tension throughout.
