At the same time a horrific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation.

He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investigator when he can.But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. The second time was at home nearly two decades later. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to go pro.
