Partners

Casey O’Connor is still adjusting to homicide work when she learns that another change is coming: a new partner, Leslie Turner. Their first investigation together concerns a killer targeting women who live alone, leaving little room for a comfortable introduction. Leslie’s attention increasingly shifts toward Casey, even though she is engaged to someone else. Casey notices the attraction but doubts that a working partnership could become the kind of relationship Tori Hunter and Samantha Kennedy have found. The four detectives’ lives intersect as the investigation intensifies, drawing questions of trust into both public and private territory. Solving the murders requires concentration and cooperation. Understanding what is happening between Casey and Leslie may demand an equally uncomfortable willingness to reconsider what each thought she wanted.
