What do you get when you put together a security guard and an electronics salesman? You get a married couple who are professional second-story men on the side.<br><br>When Amery and Myles decide to break into the home of a wealthy Denver couple, they find more than they were bargaining for -- the couple's dead bodies. Now all Amery and Myles want to do is avoid being arrested for the murders. That becomes more difficult when Fetch, a police detective and Amery's ex, shows up with questions they'd rather not answer.<br><br>Will they be able to help solve the murders without Fletch discovering that they had been at the scene of the crime -- and why?

Second Story Men

“That gives a bad name to all burglars,” Myles grumbled. “We’re passive, not aggressive, television crime stories to the contrary.”


“Well, you and I are,” Amery replied. “I can’t speak for any other of our brotherhood.”


“If they were aggressive, they’d have taken up armed robbery.”


“True, I suppose,” Amery agreed, although he wasn’t certain that was the truth.


Soon after Myles had left for work Amery was on the computer, despite his husband’s asking him not be inquisitive. He wanted to get into the police department files to find out what the detective in charge of the Newells’ case had discovered about their murders.


Not that I can do anything, if I can get in, but it will be interesting to know if he does believe it was the result of a burglary gone bad.
