Sorry. The single word is written on a mirror. In front of it hangs a
Minneapolis Internal Affairs cop. Was it suicide? Or a kinky act turned
tragic?
Either way, it wasn't murder. At least not according to the powers that
be. But veteran homicide detective Sam Kovac and his wisecracking,
ambitious partner, Nikki Liska, think differently. Together they begin
to dig at the too-neat edges of the young cop's death, uncovering one
motive--and one suspect--after another. The cloud of suspicion falls not
only on the city's elite, but over the very heart of the police
department. Someone wants the case closed--quickly and forever. But even
with their careers and their lives on the line, neither Kovac nor Liska
will give up. As they unearth a connection between a two-month-old
murder case and one that has been closed for twenty years, they find
themselves chasing a killer who will stop at nothing to keep a dark and
shattering secret.
