Fifty years ago, Roland Mills belonged to a violent activist group. Now, someone is willing to kill to prevent him from publishing his memoirs.
When ex-FBI agent Elliot Mills is called out to examine the charred ruins of his childhood home, he quickly identifies the fire for what it is--arson. A knee injury may have forced Elliot out of the Bureau, but it's not going to stop him from bringing the man who wants his father dead to justice.
Agent Tucker Lance is still working to find the serial killer who's obsessed with Elliot and can't bear the thought of his lover putting himself in additional danger. Straightlaced Tucker has never agreed with radical Roland on much--"opposing political viewpoints" is an understatement--but they're united on this: Elliot needs to leave the case alone. Now.
Tucker would do nearly anything for the man he loves, but he won't be used to gain Elliot access to the FBI's resources. When the past comes back to play and everything both men had known to be true is questioned, their fragile relationship is left hanging in the balance.
What can I say about Fair Play? Amazing! Awesome! Exciting! Just to list a few words to describe Josh Lanyon's newest release. I didn't think I could love Elliot or Tucker or Mr. Lanyon for that matter, any more than I did after reading Fair Game, but you know what? I do! If Elliott thought the end of the summer school session was going to make life easier than it was during the Sculptor case than he's got a lot of rethinking to do. With Roland's book coming out soon, it seems trouble is coming out of the woodwork.
I love the mystery in this one nearly as much as I loved the Sculptor case in Fair Game. The connection between Elliott and Tucker just jumps right off the page despite some holes in their communication, not to mention the heat between the couple. Throw in a horde of intriguing former anti-war radicals and you have a story that just won't let go of you from beginning to end. I'm already feeling E&T withdrawal.
