Eugene Cohen is the kind of detective who ends investigations with complaints as often as commendations. His nickname is the over-suppression specialist. The criminals he arrests don't walk away easily — neither does any furniture in the vicinity. At thirty, he's behind on promotion, living in his girlfriend's apartment, and quietly obsessed with a cold case that involves his father's death. Then one rainy night goes catastrophically wrong, and Eugene ends up in prison — until something snaps him back to the beginning. Not the far past. Just far enough: the moment before the mistake. He knows what he missed. He knows what's coming. He is going to get it right this time. What follows is two hundred chapters of crime cases, organized crime, a mysterious girl with no fingerprints who ends up living in his apartment, a best friend who chose the wrong side of the law, and one long-buried conspiracy that might explain why his father never came home. He can't fix the system. But he is very, very good at fixing individual criminals.
