Summary

When a string of young queer men turn up dead in grisly murders, all signs point to the ex-boyfriend - but what should be an open-and-shut case is fraught with tension when BPD homicide detective Malcolm Khalaji joins up with a partner he never wanted. Rigid, ice-cold, and a stickler for the rules, Seong-Jae Yoon is a watchful presence whose obstinacy and unpredictability constantly remind Malcolm why he prefers to work alone. Seong-Jae may be stunningly attractive, a man who moves like a graceful, lethal bird of prey...but he's as impossible to decipher as this case.

And if Malcolm doesn't find the key to unravel both in time, another vulnerable young victim may end up dead.

Contains mature themes.

I was reminded how to be patient again with this book. in the nowadays world we want everything and we want it now. A novel written in 2018 finally reminded me how most books used to be then - the slow build up, the little hints dropped, the slow learning about the MC’s personalities and so much more.

Being the reader of 2025, I won’t lie - I almost gave up half way through, but the gorgeous writing and the curious nature in me ensured I kept going. And it just kept better from there. Now knowing that there are like 30 more books in this series doesn’t look quite like daunting :)

Excellent narration by Curt Bonnem. New to me narrator and a lovely find. The gravely tones in Malcolm and the shirt clipped stoic tones of Seong-Jae were perfect.

Slow start but worth the wait

Good plot, if a bit grisly, writing style is very descriptive so I did feel the need to listen more closely / at a normal speed, interesting characters I do want to know more about and see how their rapport grows. I really like that they are both gay sons of immigrants (like me) as it seems more reflective of modern city law enforcement in America.

Good plot and narration

Very interesting detective, cherry on top it’s a slow mm too. I really want to read whole season, But I wish they had an offer to buy a package of all nooks or similar. Because buying all 20 something books like a singles is very expensive. So will not continue the series.

Love detective stories.

Police procedural. Enjoyable story if a tad intricate. I feel like you really need to listen to it. Have to say, I would have preferred a different narrator. This narrator seemed to lack some warmth and although one character is supposed to be more serious, I think the way it was written, he was a bit more likable than the narrator portrayed.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed the book. The book was interesting, nothing was predictable. Narration was good as well. I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Very good
