Nikki Heat is not afraid to enter any investigation, even one where her boss sticks his nose.  Nikki is investigating the murder of a priest found at a bondage club.  The Captain searches the rectory before Nikki can get there and things get more tangled as we progress.  With Rook's help, the story is wickedly entertaining!
