Author Introduction
He didn't wake up thinking about murder. He woke up
thinking about the blonde on his bed and a stack of pancakes.... Funny how
things work out....
When Davenport is called to the white-stuccoed house, after
the party, he knows it's for no usual case. For one thing, the strangulation
victim is Alie'e Maison, she of the knife-edge cheekbones and jade-green eyes:
as models go, one of the biggest. For another, there are a few small
complications. Such as the drugs in her body and the evidence that she had
recently made love to a woman. Such as the fact that one of Lucas's own men had
been at the party, and is now a suspect. Such as the little surprise they are
all about to find when they search the house: a second body, stuffed in a
closet, with a deep dent in its skull.
The whole case is going to be like this, Lucas knows —
secrets piled upon secrets, the ground shifting constantly under his feet. But
even he cannot suspect the earth tremors he is about to feel, when an old lover
comes back into his life, a woman he has never been able to forget... whose own
secrets may turn out to be the most perplexing ones of all.
