Synopsis

After Emery Hazard loses his job as a detective in Saint Louis, he heads back to his hometown—and to the local police force there. Home, though, brings no happy memories, and the ghosts of old pain are very much alive in Wahredua. Hazard's new partner, John-Henry Somerset, had been one of the worst tormentors, and Hazard still wonders what Somerset's role was in the death of Jeff Langham, Hazard's first boyfriend.

When a severely burned body is discovered, Hazard finds himself drawn deeper into the case than he expects. Determining the identity of the dead man proves impossible, and solving the murder grows more and more unlikely. But as the city's only gay police officer, Hazard is placed at the center of a growing battle between powerful political forces. To his surprise, Hazard finds an unlikely ally in his partner, the former bully. And as they spend more time together, something starts to happen between them, something that Hazard can't—and doesn't want—to explain.

The discovery of a second mutilated corpse, though, reveals clues that the two murders are linked, and as Hazard gets closer to answers, he uncovers a conspiracy of murder and betrayal that goes deeper—and closer to home—than he could ever expect.

My only criticism would be the fact that the editing was not com......more

FUCK! Dammit... Mothereffing shit! *sigh* If you're easily offended, please cover your ears, close your eyes and ignore this one, because there will be swearing... Lots and LOTS of swearing. Gregory Ashe delivered one of my favourite reads this year, and those of you who know me, know that I am a fuc......more

Goodreads review by Snjez on July 01, 2020

2.5 stars I'm afraid I didn't really enjoy this story. I didn't care about the case they were working on. I guessed three different things early on, which made the rest of the story not so mysterious or interesting and it really dragged for me. I didn't understand the police procedure in this one. Th......more

Goodreads review by Jilly on September 26, 2020

This book should have giant trigger warnings attached to it. There is bullying, rape, suicide, and hate-crimes all over the place. The bullying stories were so bad that I can't imagine anyone who was bullied being okay reading this. I was never bullied, but I had to put the book down and walk away f......more

3 Skeptical Stars Oh man. I really really wanted to love this. I can totally see why others did because this no doubt, is rife with two compelling characters with layers of so much ethos and pathos that lends an impressive complexity to them both and to the story. First things first. It's painfully ob......more
