Finding a killer isn't easy, but someone's got to do it...
Detective Burgess Varley is called out to view a dead body. It isn't one of the best things about his job--but putting killers away for the rest of their lives? Now that's one of the best. Problem is, the victim has something in her mouth that has always scared Burgess--something that links him to the killer without him even knowing it. And that link is more than Burgess might be able to handle.
Detective Shaw Peters, Burgess' partner for several years, loves Burgess in ways he perhaps shouldn't. Or ways that Burgess won't accept, anyway. But Shaw isn't one to back down from a challenge, and as well as being by Burgess' side on the hunt for a killer, he has his own mission to accomplish--getting Burgess to admit they're meant for each other. It won't be easy, but by God, he's going to give it a try.
With Burgess and the killer learning things about themselves, their lives, and each other that they previously hadn't known, life--and death--is about to become serious.
