Publisher's Synopsis
In Salt Lake City, Charlie Robinson is brutally murdered. The police can find no motive for the murder except that Charlie happened to be gay. The investigation moves to Charlieas next door neighbor, Joe McCoy, who is an alcoholic loner. With no alibi and some very circumstantial evidence, McCoy finds himself the only suspect. When another homosexual is found murdered, the religious and political leaders of Utah want the killer caught quickly to avoid all the media attention coming their way. Lt. Mike Polowski, lead investigator on the case, doesnat care what politicians or religious leaders want. He just wants to stop a killer. That may be impossible with the pressure from above to arrest someone, especially if that someone isnat of the dominant faith. Lives are lost and changed forever in pursuit of a serial killer whose twisted views find murder to be an appropriate response to his beliefs.
