It was a brutal, vicious crime -- sixteen years old. A helpless old woman battered to death with an axe. Harry Painter hung for it, and Chief Inspector Wexford is certain they executed the right man.

He begins unravelling the past, only to discover that murder breeds murder -- and often conceals even deeper secrets . . .
