An embattled author. Fanatical parents. A son who canāt stay out of trouble. Itās the last one thatāll probably kill him.
When Emery Hazard gets drawn into a brawl at a monthly school board meeting, he knows heās in trouble; his husband, John-Henry Somerset, is chief of police, and theyāre already under enough scrutiny as they try to finalize their foster sonās permanency plan.
Hazardās actions, however, have an unexpected consequence: A woman shows up at his office the next day, and she wants to hire him to protect her mother. Loretta Ames is a famousāand famously troublesomeāauthor, and a string of recent attempts on her life suggests that someone is determined to get rid of her. Under pressure from his assistant, Hazard takes the job, assuming that it will be two days of babysitting before Loretta returns to New York.
Her murder changes everything. To find the killer, Hazard and Somers will enter a murky world of concerned parents, entitled teenagers, internet trolls, and a whole lot of grassroots crazy. But nothing is straightforward about the investigation, and even Lorettaās daughter seems to have her own reasons to want her mother dead. And when the killer abducts Coltās friend, Hazard and Somers realize they are running out of time, and they must race to save him before itās too late.
