He's back…
It's been two years since Jamie Brodie was involved in a murder investigation.
Jamie and his husband, Pete Ferguson, are living quietly - very quietly - in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Pete stays busy with his part-time counseling job, teaching online, and gardening. Jamie has found very little to occupy his time.
When Valentine's Day rolls around, the men decide to go snowboarding. They're having an awesome day on the slopes of Ski Apache when Jamie trips over a branch. Except the "branch" turns out to be a human leg, attached to a man named Gordon Clarke. Clarke is from Santa Monica, California, same as Jamie and Pete. And he has Pete and Jamie's names and address in his pocket.
Why did Clarke need to talk to Pete and Jamie? And why was he silenced before he could? Finding the answers means that Jamie is heading back to Santa Monica for the first time in two years - and possibly heading right back into the path of a killer.
