Coyle played the last tape one more time. In the background, faint but clear, a clock chimed and a train passed. He knew that sound. It only happened at the old depot at midnight. The killer had taped his own confession there, alone, in a place Coyle could find tonight.

Coyle drove to the depot at midnight and waited in the dark. A young man came in, sat by the recorder, and started to confess again. It was Danny Voss. Coyle stepped out of the shadows. "It's over," he said. Danny froze, then broke down crying, and walked with Coyle to the police himself.
