Summary

Richard Malinowski is a tough police chief who thinks he has become inured to violence, but nothing he has experienced in his career can prepare him for the day when his nine year old daughter is raped and killed. A fierce enquiry led by his colleagues soon results in the detention of a suspect, Daniel Eckmann. The evidence against Eckmann is overwhelming and he is sent to prison for thirty years. But Eckmann insists he is innocent and write a letter to Malinowski stating as much. Having taken some consolation in the fact that his daughter’s killer is behind bars, Malinowski begins to have second thoughts. What if Eckmann is innocent and the killer is still at large...? Malinowski has no choice but to begin his own investigation.
