Murder and Mayhem

Dead women tell no tales. Former cat burglar Rook Stevens stole many a priceless thing in the past, but hes never been accused of taking a lifeuntil now. It was one thing to find a former associate inside Potters Field, his pop culture memorabilia shop, but quite another to stumble across her dead body. Detective Dante Montoya thought hed never see Rook Stevens againnot after his former partner falsified evidence to entrap the jewelry thief and Stevens walked off scot-free. So when he tackled a fleeing murder suspect, Dante was shocked to discover the blood-covered man was none other than the thief hed fought to put in prison and who still makes his blood sing. Rook is determined to shake loose the murder charge against him, even if it means putting distance between him and the rugged Cuban-Mexican detective who brought him down. If one dead con artist wasnt bad enough, others soon follow, and as the bodies pile up around Rooks feet, he's forced to reach out to the last man hed expect to believe in his innocenceand the only man whos ever gotten under Rooks skin.
