Detective Roger Corso returns from a week long vacation to find a mummified corpse on his couch.  The victim is identified as Gary Williams and he has been dead for twenty-five years.   The investigation delves into aspects of Roger’s personal life. Although Roger’s partner Mary Anne Stelter knows Roger is gay, she does not know he is a dominant man leading a BDSM lifestyle. Keeping his personal life private is proving increasingly difficult for Roger as the investigation proceeds.  Sean Williams is Gary’s brother.  Sean is the opposite of Roger in every way. Sean irritates Roger most of the time, which in it of itself is amazing. Roger hasn’t felt anything for anyone since his lover Patrick died and yet Roger feels something whenever he is around Sean.  Sean has deep desires that he wants to explore with Roger, but as their relationship changes and becomes intensely passionate, the killer strikes again.
