When two suburban high-school students are found murdered
in Chicago -- one in a particularly brutal fashion -- Detective Paul Turner
and his partner, Buck Fenwick, are assigned to the case. Over the years
the duo has developed a reputation for being able to handle politically
sensitive cases, and since both boys came from prominent families in the
area, cases don't get much more sensitive than this one.
When the dead teenagers turn out to have been well respected and liked,
with a solid family life and no enemies anyone knows about, Turner and
Fenwick find themselves grappling with a seemingly motiveless killing.
To make matters worse, as a gay father with two teenage sons and a new
lover in his life, Turner has difficulty in bringing his full attention
to bear on the case. Yet, as details slowly emerge, he begins to suspect
that he is investigating something more deadly and more horrifying than
a pair of senseless killings, something that could threaten the lives of
the people he holds most dear.
