Detective Nikki Liska has moved to the cold-case division in hopes she'll have more time at home with her boys. Her first case is a 25-year-old homicide of a cop. He was killed in his yard while chopping wood. Many detectives have tried to solve this crime, but they keep running into a dead end. Detective Sam Kovac is breaking in a new partner when they are assigned a double-murder. A university professor and his wife were killed with a Japanese ceremonial sword. The professor was in line for a new job. His competition was stiff. Would one of them kill the competition?

We get two mysteries in one story this time around. Both mysteries were compelling, though I really had to strain my brain to keep all of the suspects straight. Even though I liked Kovac's new partner, I wanted Kovac and Liska to work these cases together. My rating: 4 Stars.
