There's a hunter in the jungle. Marlot is determined to get back with Trembor. Trembor wants nothing other than to put the wolf behind him and move on with his life. A third party might have an unhealthy interest in the two investigators' love life. Marlot's obsession with showing the lion his actions were justified is compounded by the distraction a glitch in the revenue system causes him. Trembor's determination is tested by the wolf showing up, by coincidence, at his investigations sites. Or is there more to what is going on than either realizes? When one's desperation to regain what he had, and the other's suspicions of those actions, blind them to what might connect the deaths they are investigating, can they see what is keeping them from resolving their personal problems?
