Sorry: The single word was written on a mirror. In front of it hung the Minneapolis Internal Affairs cop. Was it suicide? Or a kinky act turned tragic?
Either way, it wasn't murder. At least not according to the powers that be. But veteran homicide detective Sam Kovac and his wisecracking, amibitious partner Nikki Liska think differently. Together they begin to dig at the too-neat edges of the young cop's death, unocvering one motive and one suspect after another. The shadows of suspicion fall not only ont the city's elite, but into the very heart of the police department. Someone wants the case closed--quickly and forever. . . .
