The premise, in the publisher's words

Felix and Jay: the city's two best detectives. Not without a few secrets of their own and a hell of a lot of coffee, the two do what sleuths do best: solve mysteries no one else will touch with a thirty foot electrical pole. The years have been good to them. At least, as good as good can get when you're dancing with crazed crime lords and devious dames every other week. That's up until a letter arrives to their doorstep, and a serial killer from their past makes a sudden reappearance in their lives...
