Un chef de police protecteur et un assassin du Web impitoyable doivent faire face à des sentiments enfouis et à des menaces mortelles, luttant pour leur avenir tout en s'efforçant de démanteler un danger qui pourrait les séparer à jamais. Brax a été le roc de Holt ces quatorze dernières années. À travers la guerre, le syndrome post-traumatique, le divorce et la monoparentalité. Ils sont les meilleurs amis du monde, même si Holt est un criminel et Brax un flic. Brax aime Holt depuis qu'il est officier et que Holt s'est engagé. Il est prêt à tout pour protéger le gentil géant implacable, même à le repousser. Son amour n'a jamais été réciproque pendant toutes ces années ; qu'est-ce que quelques années de plus ? Mais lorsque Brax est accusé d'un crime qu'il n'a pas commis, Holt refuse de garder ses distances. Il protégera Brax à tout prix, comme celui-ci l'a toujours protégé. Il l'aimera aussi, comme il le mérite, si Brax le laisse faire. En supposant qu'ils ne brûlent pas le monde en essayant de se sauver l'un l'autre d'abord.

A framing story is told in the first person by Darrell Standing, a university professor serving life imprisonment in San Quentin State Prison for murder. Prison officials try to break his spirit by means of a torture device called "the jacket," a canvas jacket which can be tightly laced so as to compress the whole body, inducing angina. Standing discovers how to withstand the torture by entering a kind of trance state, in which he walks among the stars and experiences portions of past lives. The jacket itself was actually used at San Quentin at the time and Jack London's descriptions of it were based on interviews with a former convict named Ed Morrell, which is also the name of a character in the novel. For his role in the Sontag and Evans gang which robbed the Southern Pacific Railroad in the 1890s, Morrell spent fourteen years in California prisons , five of them in solitary confinement. London championed his pardon. After his release, Morrell was a frequent guest at London's Beauty Ranch.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in a house with ten siblings in New Jersey. My mother was always on the move, doing dozens of things at once. She kept the house going by putting her finger on the special gift she saw in each of her children and making us believe that that gift was uniquely ours. #2 I was working the front section one night when I met Ramone, a man from the Basque Country who ordered a cup of tea. He told me he was from the upper echelon of French-Spanish society. I didn't need to weigh the options: I took the bus home or be driven home by him in his yellow Lincoln Continental. #3 I met Ray, a wealthy real estate developer, who gave me a ride home every night. He offered to pay for a week at the Barbizon Hotel for Women in Manhattan's Upper East Side. I jumped at the offer and packed my black ribbed sweater, two pleated skirts, and navy blue peacoat. #4 I created my makeshift Corcoran-Simone office on the sofa my roommate had borrowed from his parents. I worked out the numbers and realized that the big ads were bigger than my budget, so I decided to keep my ad to four lines or fewer each week.
