1989: What Happens When a Killer Returns for Revenge (Unabridged‪)‬

For three years, a serial killer known as the Penny Murderer terrified Monroe, Georgia. His signature was leaving a note on the body starting with "A penny for your thoughts". Detective Mike Allen and his team tracked down and arrested Samuel Johnson for 12 murders. Throughout the trial and even after his conviction, Johnson always proclaimed his innocence. The controversial trial divided the city, and things exploded when he was found dead in his cell shortly afterward. A cover-up?

Old ghosts are awakened almost 30 years later when Allen's original partner on the Johnson case, Marcus Jones, is found dead. Attorney Nicole Jones, Marcus' wife, starts to be suspected of his murder, so she goes on a dark journey to find out who really killed her husband and why. She experiences a roller coaster of emotions upon learning that both he and former partner Mike Allen had kept many disturbing secrets from her.

Meanwhile, Allen's own investigation takes him in a different direction as he tries to solve who murdered Marcus, all while dealing with a new partner who not only questions his every move, but also the actions taken during the original investigation. Is this a new killer? Or did they get it wrong all those years ago and send an innocent man to jail...?
