This book is the first in the Cut & Run series about FBI special agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett. Ty is the typical nonconformist, hotheaded, ex-military man who usually goes deep undercover in his job. Garrett is coming off of two years in the cybercrime unit (a desk job), and they are forced to work as partners when two other agents are killed in NYC while trailing a serial killer. It's hate at first site for both men, who can barely say a civil word to the other until Zane and a local cop are injured by an exploding computer. Ty is convinced the killer is in local law enforcement and treats Zane's wounds at their hotel room. As more bodies are discovered and additional attempts on their lives occur, they come to trust and depend on the other more than ever.
I don't read much crime fiction because I find the glut of procedural details to be boring. That's not the case with this story probably because the focus was just as much on the growing relationship between the two leads as the search for the serial killer. Although Ty and Zane start out as stereotypical opposites who are forced to work together, that changes about halfway through the book, as does their growing attraction to each other. Some of the dialog was a little confusing as to who was the speaker, but it didn't detract much from the tension between the two. Lots of angst and denial of feelings pushed the story just as much as the crimes, and I'm looking forward to the second book in the series. 378 pages (Kindle edition).
