This book opens when Decker is in his former hometown for the anniversary of his wife and daughter’s death.And here, with no Jamison to nudge him, Decker’s forced to get in touch with his human side as he realises his old partner is having some personal troubles; and Lancaster’s surprised that Decker is (now) seemingly capable of empathy.
