Publisher's Synopsis
An unlikely pair of detectives just trying to hide out in New Hampshire get drawn into a murder investigation.
Rafael Flores and Elmore Esbjornsson are hiding out from the world they used to live in, a world that tried, and very nearly succeeded, in killing them. They fill their days caring for a young girl that got swept up in the bloody mess at the confluence of all of their old lives, and also in caring for a group of rescue tortoises. It's a new life as close to perfect for all of them as their shattered lives could be when reassembled... until, that is, their mostly fake detective agency gets pulled into a real murder mystery with a real killer, at which point Rafe and Elmore have to solve the murder and catch the bad guy.
