A young woman found bleeding to death on a stranger's front lawn uses her last breath to whisper two words: I'm sorry.
That's a first for reporter Kate Bennett. She's determined to find out why a murder victim felt compelled to apologize. And she can't wait to splash the news of an arrest in 48-point type across the front page of the Galveston Gazette.
Detective Peter Johnson has seen his share of human carnage. He knows from experience justice isn't always that swift or simple. When the case goes cold right from the start, he clings to faith that the killer will eventually face a reckoning.
But that's not good enough for Kate.
Vowing to find the answers he couldn't, she quickly discovers the truth costs more than some people are willing to pay. Can Johnson convince her that justice is still worth fighting for, even if she can't see it on this side of eternity?
