Bound to Die

When a prominent Seattle businessman is found hanging naked in a dominatrix's studio, lead Detective Court Pearson is pressured to find a fast, quiet solution to the man's death. Court's investigation uncovers secrets within his own department and raises the ghosts that linger from the suicide of his wife—all details he fights to keep quiet as a leaker goes public. To make matters worse, his new partner resents his fast rise through the ranks as Seattle's only transmale homicide detective, and his lead suspect begins to look like a target for murder.
