About this ebook

Teancum Leon, who goes by Tean, is a wildlife veterinarian. His life has settled into a holding pattern: he loves his job, he hates first dates, and he only occasionally has to deal with his neighbor Mrs. Wish’s cat-related disasters.

All of that changes, though, when a man appears in his office, asking for help to find his brother. Jem is convinced that something bad has happened to Benny, and he thinks Tean might be able to help. Tean isn’t sure, but he’s willing to try. After all, Jem is charming and sweet and surprisingly vulnerable. Oh. And hot.

Then things get strange: phone calls with no one on the other end of the line; surveillance footage that shows what might be an abduction; a truck that tries to run Tean and Jem off the road. As Tean and Jem investigate, they realize that Benny might have stumbled onto a conspiracy and that someone is willing to kill to keep the truth from coming out.

But not everything is as it seems, and Tean suspects that Jem has been keeping secrets of his own.

As with (probably) all of Gregory Ashe's stories, this one has complex characters, difficult social issues, and a layered mystery. The setting, a beautiful contrast of the wilderness and the urban life in Utah, plays an important role in how the mystery unfolds. Jem and Tean meet under difficult circumstances, but they make a connection that is fascinating to see built. This is one of the best reasons to preorder a Gregory Ashe book with little more than a title and sentence long description. Ashe creates wonderful characters with depth and growth. From Tean's enthusiastic coworker to the unpleasant villain, JF Harding does a wonderful job of animating these carefully constructed individuals. This was a wonderful and insightful read/listen that definitely deserves to be on the reread list.
