Cullen Ryder, a South Side Chicago detective, has been on his own since his lover was killed in a car crash three years earlier. Disillusioned, bitter, and more than a little lonely, he's intrigued when former classmate Ethan comes back into his life. Ryder's life the past thirteen years has been about being a detective, and he prides himself on being a damn good one. But when he finds out exactly who and what Ethan is, and what he does to survive, their new bond is tested. Can Ryder live with the knowledge, and does he want to?
