Just back from a trip to Italy with his boyfriend, Detective Dylan Black is immediately immersed in another unusual homicide investigation with his partner, Vivienne Sheffield. The detectives are dispatched to the local university where John Randolph, a seemingly happy, healthy, 19-year-old college sophomore, has been found dead in his dorm room.
When the autopsy results are in, Randolph’s death turns out to be something out of an Agatha Christie novel: arsenic poisoning. Sheffield and Black quickly identify a string of suspects, including a recently paroled ex-roommate who holds a grudge against Randolph and a couple of homophobic rugby players. Adding to the intrigue, they find evidence of a secret lover that Randolph hid from everyone, including his family and best friend.
As the murder investigation progresses, Sheffield also pursues a secret investigation of her own to identify and stop the cops who are pulling homophobic pranks on her partner.
Soon the case of the murdered college student grows more complicated than either detective expected as they encounter unexpected twists and turns that keep them guessing until the very end.
