 This an erotic mystery romance with the emphasis on erotic. 
 The plot: Gay guys are murdered at Inferno's night club. Zack is the cop in charge of the investigation. He has 15-years experience in the Force and he has always been exemplary. He is also deep in the closet. Then he meets the owner of Inferno, suitably named Dante, and his life spirals out of control. He feels an overwhelming, literally irresistible attraction to Dante and compromises the investigation by literally throwing himself at Dante and begging to be used and abused. Dante is happy to oblige. The funniest thing is, his main suspect is Dante himself and Dante cannot stand the guy who is trying to put him behind jail! 
 Now Zack must find a way to hide his secret encounters with Dante WHILE trying to pin the murders on the same Dante. I don't know what he was thinking other than the fact that he was NOT thinking. 
 I loved this book because of Zack. He was so like real life fucked-ups he won me over pretty quick. He had a way of describing his overwhelming attraction to Dante I found totally heartbreaking, and totally adorable. He had the most lurid and kinky fantasies about Dante and will space out and daydream on duty. 
 There are a few things I didn't like about this story though: 
 - Dante's character was difficult to picture. His behaviour was too erratic to make sense. He blew hot and cold in a way that was too abrupt and unexpected. His emotional development in the story was not done in a way I found convincing. 
 - The development of the romance was unconvincing or maybe it's just that I don't like the way it was done: 1 step forward two steps backward, and it was repeated so many times I was getting tired of that. It felt like a plot trick to keep push the romance climax back so that it coincides with the mystery climax. 
 - There were too many cliches in the sex parts. 
 I loved the mystery, it was really well done, the romance not so much, and Zack character is so AMAZING I raise my hat to the author. I wish this book was turned into a movie: I would like to see an actor impersonating Zack.
