Camden City, New Jersey. May, 1996.
A schoolteacher. A mother of two.Every morning, she woke her children and sent them off to school.

This morning… she didn’t wake up.

Her seven-year-old daughter wouldn’t be going anywhere—not because she was sick, but because her life had just been abruptly torn apart.

The killer thought he was untouchable.
A drug dealer. Ruthless. Confident. Invisible in a city drowning in violence.

But violence leaves patterns.
And patterns lead to suspects.

This is a story of cold-blooded murder, relentless police work, and a man who almost got away with it.

Almost.

I'm Detective Gavel.
And this one happened on my watch.
