Illicit and Covert

From the author of "Has Been", "The Pink Reich", "Just Talking" and many more titles. --- This story is a fictional account of some true to life characters. --- Brick and Todd represent two different arms of the law; Brick being a federal agent and Todd a state crime investigator. Fate throws them together while covertly working overlapping cases that follow the same suspect. Going beyond expectations of duty, these two agents find themselves in compromising positions of more than one nature. --- During a search for two missing men thought to be trafficked or murdered, Todd thinks he's willing to do whatever it takes to get answers. His limits are tested when the time comes for illicit activity. Brick is a rogue agent who skirts the law to do his job. He's the polar opposite of Todd who has much to learn about how to get evidence. Going far above and beyond duty, these two government agents find themselves being exposed in ways that prove intimately revealing. --- Trying to bring justice to those who feel they are above the law has its challenges and rewards but the former is consumed by danger. It takes the determination of both agents cooperating and using drastic measures to bring to justice a suspected drug lord and pornographer. --- The search for two victims is filled with characters best described as menacing and unique. From a crossdressing prostitute who stands her ground to a cultured gentleman suspected of being a serial killer; it's a situation of not everyone being what they seem on the surface. --- As danger escalates, Brick and Todd find themselves trying to save a key witness to a crime ring. Unwilling to accept defeat, they persist to the point of discovering more than the evidence originally sought. Closing-in on a killer brings an unexpected twist of events that has them both facing death with absolute certainty. There is no hope. Are they to be next?
