About the book
Paterson, New Jersey, 1979: Jamie Palmieri, a promising patrol officer, has been out of the academy for three years and is feeling frustrated with his slow advancement to becoming a detective. However, everything changes one cold night in January when a double homicide occurs at a local bar, resulting in the deaths of the bar owner and a young woman.
Following the high-profile Rubin "Hurricane" Carter case and the city's prevailing distrust of the police, Jamie is warned to anticipate a "no one saw a thing" investigation. Despite this, as Jamie follows a trail of small clues, he soon finds himself on a path where the tables are turned - with the unidentified killer now haunting Jamie and those closest to him.
