About the book:
If he's killed once, he'd kill again. Wouldn't he?
After nearly thirty years in prison for fatally stabbing his university friend Leo Bauer, Tyler Green is finally free.
Meeting up with the group of friends who were there the night that Leo died, Tyler is looking to reconnect – but he's also looking for answers.
When another friend is found dead that night, all the evidence points to Tyler, putting his new found freedom in jeopardy. Detective Maud O'Connor is called to investigate – can she discover the truth, or will Tyler Green never be free?
