Summary
When Primarch Victus asks Aurora Shepard Vakarian and Garrus Vakarian to come help him with the post-war rebuilding efforts on Palaven, they don't hesitate to seize the opportunity. Shepard needs some quiet time away from the increasing demands of the Alliance so that she can properly heal and Garrus needs to settle the issue of clan rights for his bondmate with his father, the head of Clan Vakarian. But nothing with these two is ever that simple. Underneath Palaven's surface of everyday politics and orderly reconstruction, old grudges fester - grudges that will threaten not just Shepard, but everyone that she loves.

Summary
An elcor veterinarian is found brutally murdered at his own clinic. No motive, nothing to point towards his killer. It's up to Second Class Major Crimes Detective Castis Vakarian and his new partner - the newest addition to the Major Crimes team - to piece together both how and why someone would kill the beloved veterinarian before the rapidly cooling trail can be erased entirely. But if anyone does know why someone would harm the sweet-natured elcor, they're being kept quiet by fear, apathy or some combination of the two.
Only, the situation is set to become all the more complex as Castis' personal and professional lives are forced to collide explosively - and left with his reputation on the line twice, he finds himself betting pride, reputation and relationship on a longshot; that he can solve this one case.Bookmarked by DeMusica
