Now, the surviving father moves through a city that keeps going as if his world didn’t end in that house. Investigators chase shadows: theories of cartel messages, personal vendettas, or a killer close enough to be trusted at the door.

The real mystery isn’t just who did it—but how a man lives with what they left behind.
