While he has recuperated at his desk at the Southeastern Natcotics Bureau, his on and off again romantic/agent partner, Bo has been dealing with the aftermath of their original investigation. Simon “Lucky” Harrison has left the hospital, his former self, Richmond “Lucky” Lucklighter now safely dead and buried. Collusion takes up where Diversion left off.

I thought that Diversion was going to be a hard story to beat but Collusion (Diversion #2) handles the job of sequel with astounding power and depth.

In a situation where the young victims get to even the hardest agent of them all, Lucky himself, what won’t Lucky do to save them all? Lucky sees Bo getting in too deep to see who the villains really are, maybe even the doctors themselves. And Bo’s need to protect and assist those children places his job in trouble and pits him against his lover and his company. A prescription drug shortage places the patients at Rosario Children’s Cancer Center in danger, not just from the unavailability of life saving drugs but from the substitution of medications produced at less than legal companies. Then on their next case together, a situation arises that may jeopardize everything they have worked so hard to achieve. Bo realizes that having Lucky as his partner in love as well as work complicates his life and makes it better at the same time. That addiction landed him working for the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau, same as Lucky and as a pharmacist, it is one Bo has to confront daily in his job as an undercover narcotics agent. And Lucky wrestles with the idea of having an actual relationship with a man he sees as so much better than himself.īo Schollenberger is still fighting his own demons, that of an abusive father, PTSD from his tour in Afghanistan, and continuing his recovery from prescription drug addiction.

As Lucky recovered from his injuries, Bo has been working on finishing up the case without him and their schedules have left them with little time to spend with each other. In his place, Simon “Lucky” Harrison lives on and continues to work for the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau, along with his romantic/agency partner, former Marine Bo Schollenberger.

Richmond “Lucky” Lucklighter, former drug dealer, is dead.
