Shaw and North are best friends, private detectives, and in danger of losing their agency. A single bad case, followed by crippling lawsuits, has put them on the brink of closing shop. Until, that is, a client walks into their Benton Park office. Matty Fennmore is young, blond, and beautiful, and he’s in danger. When he asks for Shaw and North’s help foiling a blackmail scheme, the detectives are quick to accept. The conspiracy surrounding Matty runs deeper than Shaw and North expect. As they dig into the identity of Matty’s blackmailer, they are caught in a web that touches politicians, the local LGBT community, and the city’s police. An attack on Matty drives home the rising stakes of the case, and Shaw and North must race to find the blackmailer before he can silence Matty. But a budding romance lays bare long-buried feelings between Shaw and North, and as their relationship splinters, solving the case may come at the cost of their friendship.

This is the first in the Borealis Investigations Series dealing with the tangled and complicated relationship between Shaw Aldrich and North McKinney, the cases they handle (mostly dealing with the LGBTQ community) and in true GA style an overarching case/mystery. The series isn't an off shoot of the original Hazard & Somerset but exists in the same universe, starts sometime after Hazard left his St. Louis stomping grounds for the hell/haven of his hometown of Wahredua. We even get to see Billy, the snake! There are other parallels with H & S but North & Shaw are their own beast and have their own dynamic. North and Shaw are both twenty six (26) and have been friends since college (maybe before?). Though they're distinctly different, come from dissimilar backgrounds, and have gone in almost opposite directions when it comes to their post college personal lives, they share a history, a business, and a sensibility that makes them closer than close. There's also the inconvenient fact that each separately and secretly has been pining for the other. Men
