Tom Foster and Noah Webster have been together for three years. In that time, Tom has completed his doctorate, Noah has begun working on his master's, and both men have come into their own as performers. Suddenly international recognition becomes a reality instead of a dream. They even perform at the dedication of a concert hall at the University of Aragoni.<br><br>But it's not all smooth sailing. They still have to battle Noah's Uncle Joe over the division of property he owned with Noah's late father. Tom's father has been distant ever since Tom chose music over law school. And Noah's mother's attitude toward his relationship with Tom leaves something to be desired. With their busy performance schedules, will Tom and Noah be able to make peace with their parents and get a fair deal?

The Performers

“Good,” his father said, “because I’ve already sent an e-mail to one of my investigators. He’ll be digging into things first thing tomorrow morning.”


“What is there to dig into?” Tom said.


“He’ll start with the police report and go from there,” Mr. Foster said. “Noah said that the driver was legally drunk, which makes the case a slam dunk.”


“We can probably help you with that police report,” Noah said. “Give me a minute.”


Noah left the room and Mrs. Foster said, “What was that about?”


Noah appeared in the doorway and said, “If you can come with me, Mr. Foster, I’m going to introduce you to one of our tenants. He’s a sergeant with the JSO and he’s home at the moment. He works major crimes, not traffic, but he can put you in touch with the right people.”


“Glad to,” Mr. Foster said, and he followed Noah from the room.


When they’d gone, Tom’s mother said, “JSO?”


“Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office,” Tom said.
