After 20 years of incarceration, a prisoner is released on a technicality. Meanwhile, the detective who originally put him there does everything in his power to make sure the evidence sticks this time and the guy stays behind bars.

I'm surprised this detective character hasn't inspired the author to produced a series. I found him and his circumstances (losing his eyesight) to be very intriguing. The deterioration would compromise and add an interesting angle to his profession. Most of the book was very good, but there were occasions when it got a little slow, thus a just under the 4 rating.
