A cop dies in the city, life goes on. For one little boy, though, it changed everything. Haunted by his past, Maxwell Thomas has grown up homeless and friendless, trapped by his guilt. Prowling the city, the small man guards the Church District like a vigilante, trying to make up for his crime. When he rescues the wrong rent boy, he is pulled back into the madness that destroyed him as a child. And now, another cop's life is on the line... Nick Kenna is a beat cop with dreams of being a detective. When he stumbles across a murder and the very unusual suspect, he finds himself caught, not only by the mystery of the vagrant he's apprehended, but something deeper that sparks between them. Will Nick be able to save Maxwell, from his past and himself? Or will love be lost as the broken man fades into the shadow of his hero?… (meer)

4.5 stars

I was actually surprised how much I really liked this book, I didn't want to put it down until I finished. Although the book is rather dark at times, it was more drama/suspense through most of it. I loved the hurt/comfort themes.

There were only a few things that bothered me. I kept having to remind myself how old Maxwell was (not that 29 is old, but still older than me), he just felt younger. (view spoiler) Although the book is written in third-person, there are bits that are supposed to be the characters' thoughts that are in first-person. Only there is nothing (like italics) to mark them are separate from the normal narration. It kept throwing me out of the story when one would show up.
