It's a critical time in both the relationship and partnership of Clint McCall and Devon Malone. Malone has accepted McCall's proposal and they pick up one of their oddest cases ever: a client wants them to reassure her that her son is not a dangerous psychopath. Easier said than done.

At the same time, old friends and lovers of Malone begin to die—and the deaths seem to be getting closer and closer to her. Is it all coincidence or is someone out for vengeance? And what if that kid IS a dangerous psychopath?

Our two detectives have to scramble for their lives to ensure that they ultimately have a marriage rather than a funeral.
