What do you do when someone attempts to frame you for the murder of your roommate? That's the problem facing kinetic artist Trev Eldridge. Although Detective Quint Hawk determines Trev is innocent, it does nothing to assuage Trev's fears. While Quint sets out to discover who's responsible for the murder, Trev is befriended by Dr. Zack Kendall. As Zack helps Trev deal with what happened, the two men begin to bond. At the same time, artist Clay Richardson takes Trev under his wing, after discovering that he is a talented artist. Evidence leads Quint to a theory about the murder and who is involved. With the help of Trev, Zack, Clay, and Officer Lou Hernandez, they come up with a plan to catch the villains. With all that is happening, can the growing attraction between Trev and Zack survive before the criminals take them out of the picture ... permanently?

It Takes an Artist

“Put on your helmet,” Zack said before taking off.


“I did.” The thought that Alberts’ people might try to run them off the road again…He looked around, trying to determine if any of the cars he could see were planning to do that. Then he figured, probably not, since one of the goons had been shot. That sort of put a crimp in their plans. Hopefully a permanent one.


Zack pulled into the lot beside a restaurant not too far from the hospital. “Is this okay with you?”


When they were inside, seated, and had placed their orders, Zack asked, “What did Quint find out about Bill?”


“Not much, so far. He didn’t show up for work today, which I suppose isn’t too surprising, since he didn’t get the job done yesterday. Alberts, or whoever sent him, probably wasn’t too happy about that. By the way, Bill Traves isn’t his real name.”
