In Fine Points Malice and Payback,
Sherrie Todd Beshore explores the crossroads of procedural investigation and
private uncertainty as a young detective confronts linked murders and
unresolved questions from his own past. The narrative blends methodical police
work with the emotional undercurrents that surface when identities—and
motives—are unclear.
Andrew Coates, newly promoted within
Tucson’s detective division, uncovers connections among three unsolved murders
that had previously appeared unrelated. When a fourth victim emerges, he is
unexpectedly assigned to lead the case, navigating both the weight of
responsibility and the skepticism of seasoned colleagues. His pursuit of truth
becomes more complicated when a fifth victim survives the same attack pattern,
bringing forward a vital clue and the victim’s sister, with whom Andrew forms a
growing attachment. As professional boundaries blur, Andrew grapples with the
long-standing mystery of his own origins. Raised in foster care and still
uncertain of his identity, he finds those unanswered questions threading
through his pursuit of the killer. The deeper he goes, the more entwined the
case—and his past—seem to become.
