This a Penn Cage novella.  Penn has been summoned to father’s side after he suffers a heart attack.  While there Penn is drawn back to a time when he was working as a prosecutor in Houston, also known as the death factory.  He is asked by a lab technician to look into problems with forensic evidence being used to convict defendants.  It was a good story but I would recommend reading some of the other novels first.  It was interesting to go back and read about Penn’s earlier experiences.  Enjoy
