Aslan is still traumatized from the events of his last case. Quaid wants to support him as best as he can, but he's struggling with trying to find common ground with his new partner. As their professional lives hang in chaos, their relationship remains predominantly stable. Sort of.
Aslan is an alcoholic. He is over a year sober, and Quaid supports him how he needs. But Aslan is struggling, and there doesn't seem to be anything Quaid can do to help him. And in the midst of all that, Quaid and his new partner pick up one hell of a case.
I had a very, very hard time putting this book down. The case boggled my mind, and nothing seemed to make any kind of sense at all. I just wanted to get to the end as quickly as possible, to put all the pieces together. But I didn't do that. I took my time. The devil is in the details, as they say, and it was the minute details that really kept the mystery going.
The deeper Quaid and his new partner, Jordyn, got into the case, the stranger and stranger - and quite honestly creepily fucked up - it got. Three people, with seemingly no connections to each other, have all mysteriously disappeared for the same reason. And without going into spoiler territory, let's just say that the reason they've disappeared is extremely fucked up.
As the case comes to a close, Quaid learns to navigate his professional life with his new partner. While they had a very rocky start, things look very promising for them. And things look very, very promising for the future of Quaid and Aslan's relationship, too.
