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.

The City PI and the Country Cop

“One is, for the employees. The other is their company headquarters.” He turned to look at Teague, smiling slightly. “It would take time to get used to living here, where you can’t see the next street over because there’s a row of skyscrapers or high-rises in the way.”


“That’s only in parts of the city. We’ve got plenty of parks and residential areas that are just homes.”


Hoyt nodded as he wandered back into the living room.


Teague followed, asking, “Are you hungry? There’s a great barbeque place a couple of blocks from here.”


“Definitely, if you don’t mind the snow.” Teague glanced at the large windows along one wall of the room. “Which it seems to be doing again, so…”


Hoyt snorted. “You dorealize where I’m from—and recall the fact that is was snowing the whole time you were there this time.”


“True. Okay, let’s get unpacked and we’ll head out.”
