Can’t Let Go by David Horne

Trevor and Joshua have been together for twenty years. They share a love and a life together. Then the unthinkable happened and Joshua is forced into early retirement. After that, they’ve become polite strangers who lived in the same house. Unable to readjust after twenty-five years of being a cop, Joshua Dimmick withdraws not only from everyone around him, but the person who matters most to him. Joshua is distant and quiet, and not sharing with Trevor about what’s going on in his head and his heart. Trevor Emerton easily moves from the academic life as a professor of art history, into the daily humdrum life in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He knows he wants to spend his life with Joshua, but living with him hasn’t been easy. Trevor finds it difficult to get through Joshua’s indifference about a life not revolving around work. Joshua doesn’t know how to make Trevor understand that being a cop isn’t something he can turn off overnight.Then there’s a fire next door. Joshua begins to think there’s more to the neighbor’s death than just an accident. He wants to convince Trevor in seeing that the neighbor was murdered. To do that, Trevor has to be willing to see the world the way Joshua does as a former homicide detective. When things start unraveling, Joshua doesn’t know if he’s imagining things or if there’s a connection between their neighbor’s death and an unsolved murder from years ago. Joshua will do whatever it takes to get through the mystery. Trevor must decide if he believes Joshua, if he’s willing to follow him though the mystery, or if there’s something else going on.
