Investigare l'apparente suicidio del figlio di un importante uomo d'affari coreano si rivela subito un incarico tutt'altro che ordinario, specialmente quando Cole incontra Kim Jae-Min, il bel cugino del defunto. Il cugino di Jae-Min aveva un piccolo, sporco segreto, uno che Cole conosce da tutta la vita e che Jae-Min sta ancora nascondendo alla sua famiglia. L'indagine porta Cole da ville eleganti e squallidi appuntamenti segreti di amanti fino al Dirty Kiss, il locale dove i ricchi vanno a soddisfare con discrezione i desideri di cui le loro famiglie troppo tradizionali preferirebbero non sapere niente. Inoltre porta Cole McGinnis fra le braccia di Jae-Min, ma questo potrebbe essere un problema. La morte del cugino di Jae-Min appare sempre meno un suicidio, e il ragazzo appare sempre più un bersaglio. Cole ha già perso un amante per una morte violenta: non perderà anche Jae-Min.
Armi & bagagli (serie Armi & bagagli #1)
by Cornelia Grey Abigail Roux Madeleine UrbanSerie Armi & bagagli, Libro 1Una serie di omicidi affligge la città di New York. L'FBI e la polizia brancolano nel buio: si sospetta che il killer sia uno solo, ma gli indizi sono talmente scarsi e indecifrabili da non fornire alcuna pista. Quando a rimetterci le penne sono due agenti del Bureau, però, il caso diventa di importanza vitale per l'FBI. L'agente speciale Ty Grady è reduce da un incarico sotto copertura finito molto male. È arrogante e litigioso, ma è anche il migliore in quello che fa. Quando però lo mettono in coppia con l'agente speciale Zane Garrett, è odio a prima vista. Garrett è l'agente modello: serio, sobrio e devoto -- il che rende la loro collaborazione la classica accoppiata 'sbirro buono-sbirro cattivo', gli opposti complementari. Entrambi gli agenti capiscono, da subito, che la vera difficoltà del caso non sarà l'assenza di indizi, quanto il dover lavorare insieme. Appena arrivati sul posto, però, l'assassino colpisce ancora -- e questa volta il mirino è puntato su di loro. Costretti a fuggire e a nascondersi, e al tempo stesso decisi a scovare l'uomo che li ha presi di mira, Grady e Garrett devono trovare il modo di lavorare insieme -- e alla svelta, se non vogliono diventare altre due tacche sul coltello dell'assassino.
