Childhood best friends to enemies to lovers. Alina wants nothing to do with the rebellious bad boy, Liam Somner. Which is difficult, because he goes to her school. And lives on her street. And keeps showing up at her apartment, and sitting in her kitchen, smearing way too much cream cheese on his bagel and... refusing to wear a shirt. Alina and Liam have history. Too much of it, and it's messy and painful, and should be buried deep and forgotten. But Liam feels like there's unfinished business between them. Unfinished business, like finding the burial place of Liam's great grandfather. And saving Oscar, Alina's brother, from his depression. And that promise that Alina and Liam made at midnight, with legs dangling over the East River, to never leave the other behind. Liam and Alina's past is a tangled web of life debts, family secrets, betrayals, and forgotten promises. So even though she swears she hates him, when Alina realises Liam is awake late, she finds unexpected company in her enemy. Two insomniacs, wide awake in the city that never sleeps.

One year later, as Commander of his own Major Crimes unit, he finally is doing what he loves: stopping crimes and dealing out justice to those who break the law. For the most part. His new partner-in-justice tends to balance the moral razor's edge of black and white. And she does it with a brilliant smile. Doctor V.C. Coldwater is back and as sassy as ever. Happy as ever to meddle in Jack's affairs (albeit legally this time), she always seems to find trouble at the precisely wrong moment. When a decapitated head rolls into their laps (quite literally), Jack and V.C. find they must once again put their own heads together and find the murderer. As one body turns into three, the partners come to the conclusion a spree-killer is terrorizing the streets of Bleeding Heart. And has been for quite some time. However, their newly minted partnership starts to strain when the secrets of the past are all too deep and consuming. With the threat of QueenKiller looming in the background, its a race against time to find the murderer. Or die trying.
