The books that have been
collecting dust for so long they have become stained from it
On the scene of a multiple
murder that’s grisly even for a veteran homicide detective, Brian Clifton is
stunned when one of the victims bears an uncanny resemblance to his boyfriend,
James. As the similarities keep piling up, so do the bodies...and the evidence
pointing to James as the killer.
Since long before the shooting, James has been dishonest. He’s been evasive. Oh, and there’s that minor little detail he withheld from Brian about being a gambling-addicted drug dealer. He may not be the best boyfriend in the world, but he begs Brian to believe he’s no murderer. In fact, whoever did pull the trigger undoubtedly wants to finish what they started, and Brian is the only one James trusts to keep him safe.
But how much is Brian willing to risk to protect a man he may not even know?
