Jason Zachary is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He woke up next to a dead man with no recollection of how he got there or why. Is Jason being framed for the murder of George Blunt, or did he do it? That’s what Detective Alexander Spider has to figure out. Unfortunately, the evidence is stacking up against Jason. Alex is searching hard for another suspect. Because he’s attracted to Jason, or because he thinks he’s innocent, or both?  Soon, Alex and Jason are delving into a Dominant/submissive relationship that may prove as dangerous as the killer on the loose.

An excellent plot full of gritty suspense holds it’s own against the complex dynamics of Alex and Jason’s relationship in The Geography of Murder. While their relationship seems doomed from the start, their desire is too strong to deny. Alex keeps his feelings to himself, leaving Jason often guessing, which leads Jason to do things that are destructive to himself and their relationship. Alex is better at showing his feelings as a Dom which can be destructive as well. With excellent characterization and a mystery that left me guessing until the end, The Geography of Murder is another superb story from P.A. Brown.
