    The first book features two male protagonists, the second has no romantic pairing. It consists of episodic cases (approximately ten chapters per case) plus a main, longer case. There's no system, no cheat codes, and no overpowered abilities; the focus is on plot-driven crime-solving with romance as a secondary element. The romance is negligible; many readers are drawn in by the cases and don't even notice the romantic pairing. It covers criminal investigation, forensic science, trace evidence examination (blood, footprints, ballistics, handwriting analysis, etc.), Criminal psychology (criminal cartography), and forensic autopsy content.
