About This Book
When Danny Dwyer was found dead in his house it was ruled a suicide, despite the fact that the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the back of the head. His high-powered father pulled every string he could find to have the ruling changed and have his son’s death ruled a homicide. Twenty years later, the crime remains unsolved. But ever since Danny’s death, Joe Manzarelli has lived with nightmares pointing to the possibility that he killed his best friend. Except for the nightmares, he’s managed to keep Danny’s death in the past and build a successful law practice. But Joe’s past may come back to haunt him. Newspaper reporter Gina Hamilton is doing an article on unsolved murders, focusing on the Danny Dwyer case.
