Dawnwind is one of the fandom's most beloved writers. She has a way with a story that drags you right in and makes you want to read more.

The answer is wrapped up in an intriguing case story about drug smuggling, about old friends and old enemies. After Hutch is shot, Starsky's investigation leads to a case that they had been involved in almost a decade ago. [3]
