For the first time in a long while, Emery Hazardā€™s life is good. His new business as a private detective is taking off. Things are good at home. He loves his boyfriend, John-Henry Somerset; he loves their daughter. He might even love the new friends theyā€™ve found. Thereā€™s only one problem: Somers has been talking about marriage. 

When a former colleague, Walter Hoffmeister, comes to Hazard and hires him to look into a series of anonymous death threats, Hazard eagerly jumps on the distraction. Hoffmeister might be a jerk, but heā€™s a paying jerk, and Hazard isnā€™t convinced the threats are serious. 

Until, that is, Hoffmeister is almost gunned down on Hazardā€™s doorstep. As Hazard investigates more deeply, he learns that more than one person in Wahredua has a reason to wish Hoffmeister dead. His search takes him to the Ozark Volunteers, reincarnated as the Bright Lights movement, but it also leads him into a sanctuary of radical Christianity. Meanwhile, an antifa activist has arrived in town, calling for Hoffmeisterā€™s death and threatening total war with the Bright Lights. 

As Hazard continues to look for answers, he becomes a target, too - and not just because heā€™s helping Hoffmeister. The Keeper of Bees is still at large, and the killer hasnā€™t lost interest in Emery Hazard. Not yet. Not, Hazard begins to suspect, until the Keeper has taken everything Hazard holds dear.
