A murder in a small Colorado town closely resembles unsolved crimes committed by a serial killer almost thirty years ago. Private investigator Teague Donovan learns of the recent murder and is instantly drawn to the case, because one of the victims in the past was his best friend, and he is determined to bring the killer to justice.<br><br>Hoyt Newman, the detective in charge of the most recent case, is none too happy with Teague's interfering. At least not until a second homeless boy is tortured and killed. As the two men work together, they begin to develop an interest in each other -- one that seems fated not to come to fruition since Teague is city, through and through, and Hoyt is definitely country to the core.

“It’s not,” Tony said, coming into the room with two plates of food that he set down on the coffee table. “Okay, on your feet, Hoyt. Breakfast is ready.”


“No kidding,” Hoyt muttered, looking at the food. He started to get out of the recliner then sank back, sighing. Teague immediately got up to help him.


“Stop right there,” Tony barked out. “He has to do it on his own.”


“For the love of God, he just got out of the hospital and this chair is not easy for anyone to get out of, any more than the car was. I had to help him in and out when I brought him home.”


“If he’d remember to raise the back to its upright position,” Tony said with a smirk.


“Okay. Point made,” Teague muttered, adding, “What were you in your last life? A flight attendant?”
