Summary
Carl finds himself drawn to Akram, though he can’t name what he feels. Akram is an honest man but can’t afford to be truthful. Constant vigilance leaves little time for drama anyway: a mysterious break-in and a cold case without any suspects send them north. Moira would prefer they investigated insurance fraud. Well, they carry on – sorting through evidence, half-truths, and the awkward business of falling in love.

Summary
Carl Morck is a brilliant detective with an attitude problem. Rose and Hardy have a simple solution: get him laid. The trouble is, Carl only seems interested in the enigmatic barista down the street – a man who makes the perfect coffee, unnervingly sharp observations, and a tremendous effort to keep everyone at arm’s length. Between cold cases, hot coffee and all the things that lie between, Carl might just find more than he bargained for.
