Alec is an FBI agent who arrives in Burlington to investigate an international drug traffic.
He goes often to the Vino and Veritas bookstore to keep an eye on the streets without arousing suspicion, but here he is noted by Gabe an excentric scientific bookworm. So when Gabe gives him an unexpected gift, Alec thinks he has been compromised and that he has also found his drug dealer, but the resolution of the case can’t be so easy.
They start to going out together, and day after day Alec understands that Gabe isn’t the man he is looking for but he could be connected to him so he decides to keep lieing to him to get closer to the criminal.
Will Alec succeed to keep his job separate from his private life or will the lines blur?
I liked this story with the suspense and the mystery, even if it was a little slow on the love relationship side between the main characters, but it is justifiable for the undercover job of one and the probabile criminal activity of the other.
I liked the main characters, the seriousness of one and the colourful personality of the other make for an interesting relationship.
I've appreciated how Alec is not happy to lie to Gabe when he finds out that he is a good guy, and even he starts to have second thoughts but unfortunately he has a job to do. Alec also wants to make Gabe understand his real value and to make him regain his self confidence.
I recommend this book if you like a good mystery.
