Detective Peter Tao is investigating some gruesome murders. So far, two men have had their throats cut and then other parts of their bodies have been cut off.
He and his partner, Detective Jamey Nolan. These two have been working together for several years and like nothing better than getting justice for the victims.
Jamey is married; he and his wife are having marital troubles. Seems like Jamey has had a few one nighters with other women and his wife is so angry, she has left to stay with her sister for awhile. When he confesses his problems to Tao, Tao has a lot to say. And none of it good. Tao had a boyfriend a while back who turned out to be married with children. His rule is people don't cheat on their spouses ...period.
Investigating these murders without any leads leaves them both determined to find the killer. The only thing connecting these dead men is that they both were members of a website that introduces cheaters to each other. The website was hacked and everyone's personal information was released to the general public.
The killer takes a personal swipe at Tao as he touches someone close to him. Game on!
The beginning of the book was well-written with lots of suspense. I loved how the partners related to each other. I also enjoyed how they went about solving the crimes. The middle of the book slowed way down .. it had more to do with a man Tao meets and wants to be with, rather than the crime. The last third was terrific. Again, the characters are credible .. the expectation is compelling. All in all a good read.
