Welcome to Litsy!

In the summer of 1997, Thomas Lynch arrives as the new chief of police in Idyll, Connecticut�a town where serious crimes can be counted on one hand. So no one is prepared when Cecilia North is found murdered on a golf course. By chance, Chief Lynch met her mere hours before she was killed. With that lead, the case should be a slam dunk. But there�s a problem. If Lynch tells his detectives about meeting the victim, he�ll reveal his greatest secret�he�s gay. So Lynch works angles of the case on his own. Meanwhile, he must contend with pressure from the mayor to solve the crime before the town�s biggest tourist event begins, all while coping with the suspicions of his men, casual homophobia, and difficult memories of his former NYPD partner�s recent death. As the case unfolds, Lynch realizes that small-town Idyll isn�t safe, especially for a man with secrets that threaten the thing he loves most�his job. From the Trade Paperback edition.
