When Amos Decker is called to South Florida to investigate a double murder, the case seems simple. A federal judge and her bodyguard are found dead in her home. Before she died, the woman was wearing a blindfold with crudely made eye slits, a clear hint that she had judged with partiality during her years in the courtroom. Revenge of one of the wrongfully convicted?
But almost immediately Decker realizes: the case is far more complicated than it seems. Why were the judge and her bodyguard killed in completely different ways and in different parts of the house? Why was the security guard an employee of a private company and not a federal marshal? Why did the killer shove bills of money from a distant European country down his throat? Meanwhile, Decker himself was going through a rough patch. His superiors, unhappy with Amos's independent nature, assigned him a new partner. And also, a recent tragedy has brought back the memory of Decker in the past, which he painfully wants to forget - and can not. His psyche is starting to malfunction. And Decker has no margin for error: too dangerous a business he's engaged in....
