Some mistakes come back. Some never left.

In A Second Chance, A. L. Fraine delivers a riveting psychological crime thriller that asks: what if your past never really let you go? When a convicted killer is released from prison after serving his time, he returns to the same town where everything went wrong—only to find that justice may not be finished with him yet.

DCI Pilgrim is called in when the man’s arrival sparks a wave of public outrage and quiet threats. But when someone begins targeting him—and those who once testified against him—the line between vengeance and justice starts to blur. Did the man really commit the crime all those years ago? Or was he the perfect scapegoat in a town full of secrets?

As Pilgrim digs deeper, he uncovers fractured families, buried betrayals, and a community that thrives on silence. Everyone seems to have something to hide, and as the past rears its head, new crimes come to light.

A Second Chance is a taut, emotionally layered thriller that forces readers to question guilt, redemption, and whether true forgiveness is ever possible. With masterful pacing, tense atmosphere, and complex moral stakes, A. L. Fraine proves once again why he’s a rising star in British crime fiction.
