Cuando el cuerpo de un adolescente paraece en un jardín comunitario de Washington, el detective Gus Ramone revive un caso en el que trabajó veinte años atrás. Siendo novatos, Ramone y Dan Holiday ayudaron al legendario detective Cook en la investigación de los asesinatos de tres adolescentes que aparecieron muertos en parques de la ciudad. Jamás atraparon al asesino, al que apodaron el Jardinero Nocturno.
Después de aquello, Holiday abandonó la policía y ahora trabaja de chófer y guardaespaldas. Cook se retiró, pero tampoco ha podido olvidar el caso del Jarinero Nocturno. Ramone es el único que sigue en la policía, en la brigada de Homicidios.
Ahora, este nuevo asesinato los reunirá en torno a un propósito común. Los remordimientos, la rabia y el sentido del deber que en otro tiempo les unieron resurgen con fuerza cuando se lanzan a poner cerco al monstruo que ha estado acechando sus pesadillas. Tal vez ahora consigan atrapar al Jardinero Nocturno.

Work Description
Gus Ramone is “good police,” a former Internal Affairs investigator now working homicide for the city’s Violent Crime branch. His new case involves the death of a local teenager named Asa whose body has been found in a local community garden.The murder unearths intense memories of a case Ramone worked as a patrol cop twenty years earlier, when he and his partner, Dan “Doc” Holiday, assisted a legendary detective named T. C. Cook. The series of murders, all involving local teenage victims, was never solved. In the years since, Holiday has left the force under a cloud of morals charges, and now finds work as a bodyguard and driver. Cook has retired, but he has never stopped agonizing about the “Night Gardener” killings.
The new case draws the three men together on a grim mission to finish the work that has haunted them for years. All the love, regret, and anger that once burned between them comes rushing back, and old ghosts walk once more as the men try to lay to rest the monster who has stalked their dreams.
