Micky Knight, a bayou-bred and out-of-the-closet New Orleans private investigator, takes on the cases of a widowed mother looking for her daughter and a tough gay boy hunting for his biological mother.

Even more alarming, the killer seems to know too much about the victims. As the killer circles ever closer to Mickyâ??and the lost daughter she is trying to findâ??the coincidences become a grisly reality: the one characteristic all the victims share is that they dare to love other women… (more)

Lo que deseamos con más desesperación es aquello de lo que carecemos. Y lo que nunca podremos tener, una infancia resarcida, es quizá lo que deseamos con más desesperación.
Una madre quiere encontrar a la hija que su marido echó de casa hace una década. Un chico gay expulsado por sus padres adoptivos busca a la madre que lo entregó a otras personas al nacer.
La detective neorleanesa Micky Knight se hace cargo de estos dos casos, y las cuestiones que le plantean la llevan a asumir un tercero: la búsqueda de su propia madre, que les abandonó cuando Micky tenía cinco años y a la que nunca ha vuelto ver. Ahora, Micky quiere saber por qué.
Al principio, el asesinato de una joven parece una muestra aislada de brutalidad urbana. El hallazgo de una segunda víctima, que resulta ser paciente de la clínica dirigida por la novia de Micky, demuestra que no era un caso tan aislado. Y cuando Micky aparece inesperadamente en el lugar donde acaba de cometerse un tercer asesinato, queda claro que existe una conexión. El autor de las muertes va estrechando el círculo en torno a los clientes de Micky, a los que ella intenta desesperadamente proteger, tanto de las amargas consecuencias del pasado como de las mortíferas intenciones de un psicópata.
