This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. District Attorney Victoria Cross stood at her office window overlooking the city courthouse, watching the morning fog roll in from the harbor. At fifty-eight, she had dedicated thirty-five years of her life to prosecuting criminals and seeking justice for victims, but tonight would mark the end of her illustrious career. Tomorrow's retirement ceremony would celebrate three decades as the city's top prosecutor, during which she had never lost a capital murder case and had sent dozens of killers to death row with unwavering resolve. The case file on her desk represented both her greatest triumph and her most haunting failure. Twenty-five years ago, she had successfully prosecuted James Morrison for the brutal murder of eight-year-old Sarah Chen, a crime that had shocked the community and launched Victoria's career into the spotlight. Morrison had been executed fifteen years ago, his appeals exhausted and his guilt seemingly certain. But new DNA evidence had recently emerged, casting doubt on everything Victoria thought she knew about justice, truth, and her own legacy. The call from Detective Ray Martinez had come three days earlier, his voice heavy with the weight of unwelcome news. The same DNA technology that had helped Victoria convict countless criminals had now revealed that Morrison's blood and hair samples, crucial evidence in his conviction, belonged to someone else entirely. The real killer had remained free for a quarter-century while an innocent man had died for his crimes.
