Another semi sc-fi cop mystery from Anne Sommerville. The book is longer and better written than the usual M/M. No insta-love. Complex characters meet and then end up working in the same department two years later. Sommerville excels in good plot with sexual tension. Our main characters will loose the jobs they love if they are caught fraternizing. Dek is a detective and Ren is an empath who works in forensics. Ren is making connections on a grisly serial murder case but is being thwarted by higher ups with agendas. Dek is his superior who has learned to trust him and tries to help his line of investigation. They are cops first and never really cleared up if they are friends with benefits or lovers. Their feelings become more clear as they get in more danger. Great world building with a rich cast of characters. Good plot. Psychotic complex villain. The heroes suffer pretty dramatically but good triumphs.
