He inherited his mentor's cold case files. He didn't expect to find proof that the man he built his career on had buried the truth.

Twelve years ago, three Black churches burned in rural Georgia. One man died. The FBI investigated and failed. Retired agent Warren Hatch made it his life's work — and then died alone in his office, surrounded by case files.

His prot''gé, Special Agent Benjamin Holt, inherits the boxes. And inside one of them, he finds a suppressed witness statement that would have solved the case a decade ago. Hatch buried it. Now Benjamin has to finish the case that broke his mentor — while forensic psychologist Jenna Rigsby watches him to make sure he doesn't break too.

The hardest case isn't the murder. It's the man he thought he knew.
