Payment in kind

It looks like a classic crime of passion to Detective J.P. Beaumont. Two dead bodies found lovingly entwined in a broom closet of the Seattle School District building. The prime suspect, Pete Kelsey, admits his dead wife was not exactly new to adultery - and is far from surprised to hear about this latest liaison. But he swears he had nothing to do with these brutal deaths. Beau believes him, but nonetheless there's something this widower's not telling- and that spells trouble yet to come for Beau. Because the secret that Pete is protecting is even hotter that extra-martial sex . and it could prove more lethal than murder.
