In the summer of 1997, Thomas Lynch arrives as the new chief of police in Idyll, Connecticut--a town where serious crimes can be counted on one hand. So no one is prepared when Cecilia North is found murdered on a golf course. By chance, Chief Lynch met her mere hours before she was killed. With that lead, the case should be a slam dunk. But there's a problem. If Lynch tells his detectives about meeting the victim, he'll reveal his greatest secret--he's gay. So Lynch works angles of the case on his own. Meanwhile, he must contend with pressure from the mayor to solve the crime before the town's biggest tourist event begins, all while coping with the suspicions of his men, casual homophobia, and difficult memories of his former NYPD partner's recent death.As the case unfolds, Lynch realizes that small-town Idyll isn't safe, especially for a man with secrets that threaten the thing he loves most--his job.From the Trade Paperback edition.

When Chelsea Tan looks up from the mocha
she’s making to see Cannon Jones standing across the counter, she nearly drops
the cup. She’d met him on a missions trip to Africa, and had been attracted to
him from the start. But she’s been back in the States for several weeks now,
and he hasn’t contacted her even once. She’d gotten the message loud and clear
– he’d obviously only been leading her on. Now he plans to be in town for a
week, and wants to spend time with her? Well, Cannon will just see how gullible
she is this time!
Cannon is thrilled to see Chelsea
again, and hopes she’ll understand the reasons he hasn’t been able to write or
call. But she’s as frosty as the Seattle air the week before Christmas. He’s
only in town for one short week. He’d better put his charms to good use
convincing her she really is important to him. Maybe with the help of a few
mochas and a little bit of mistletoe all will not be lost.
