This was a great mystery/police procedural/courtroom drama read. It takes place in 2017 but the racial tension feels like the '50s/'60s of the deep south. A white woman is murdered and a Blank man is accused of the deed. He maintains his innocence and claims he was trying to save her.

Zach is an attorney that is hired by Eli, grandfather of the accused. His girlfriend is a private investigator who takes on a cold case at the same time that has eerie similarities.

I loved watching these 2 MCs in their respective parts. The knowledge and skill they have are top notch. I felt there were some red herrings thrown in that made me question myself and my theories. We do get a few chapters from the killer's perspective and it was fun to try and figure out who that was.
