The Drop: Ebook Gay Romance Suspense set in the Pacific Northwest

Curiosity might just kill Gabriel Karne after all.

A seemingly innocent peek into a stranger's background, and Gabe is knee-deep in murder.
Again.

Roy Wilson, the exceedingly dead Westfort pastor, had more enemies than friends. Was the old man a bad guy turned good? Or was he, as Gabe and Elton suspect, still deeply involved in the illegal underbelly of Twana County?

The unsolved murder of Calvin Perkins nags at Casey Lundin's conscience. The unlikable man's killer remains at large, the new sheriff has no suspects, and her plate is overflowing with decades of internal corruption to unravel. Casey takes on tracking down the killer, even though he didn't care for the guy. Not even Calvin Perkins deserved to be executed and dumped into an unmarked grave.

As Gabe and Casey become embroiled in their separate investigations, they start to see common threads between the cases.
A seemingly abandoned parcel of land in the Olympic Forest keeps popping up—Snowcap Estates, where Calvin's remains were found and where Casey was attacked the previous fall. What is the forest hiding, aside from murder victims?

Gabe has yet to meet a rule he hasn't tried to charm out of its pants, and Casey is an admitted stickler for them. But both men will need to bend a bit in order to solve this one.

It will be fine, everything will be fine.
