After a long career with the NYPD, Stan Goldman is looking forward to retirement, hoping he can get through the next few years quietly. Then, a young woman is found crucified naked in an abandoned warehouse in the Bronx. Who would commit such an abominable act and why? It's Stan's job to find out and that isn't made any easier by the fact that his regular partner is about to leave on vacation and he is assigned a replacement, Barbara Moore, a young female detective, new to the job.

The internet is a wonderful place to explore fantasies. But when an innocent young woman began to pursue her on-line interests in real life, the results ended up being deadly. Was what happened to her a crime or just a game that went too far?

That’s the question that Detectives Barbara Moore and Stan Goldman try to answer. They are the perfect pair to take on this case, since they like to play games of dominance and submission themselves. They set up a sting operation in which Barbara Moore is more than willing bait.

A large Victorian house sits on the edge of a nice small town-a bit run down, perhaps, but nothing remarkable. Except that the occupants are the muscle for a gang of white slavers, and, soon, attractive young women start disappearing into the basement of this house, to be degraded and used by their captors and then caged and shipped to a life of slavery under powerful and wealthy men in countries where few questions are asked.

Into this scene step ex-NYPD detective Barbara Moore and her partner, ex-Detective Stan Goldman.

Barbara Moore is a strong and independent woman, a former star NYPD Detective, used to doing things her own way. Until, that is, her habitual disregard for protocol catches up with her and she finds herself sent away to prison, stripped of her former identity and way of life. Inside, rules are rules, and failure to follow them completely and instantly is punished severely.

She finds herself at the mercy of stronger, more experienced prisoners, who hate her because she is a cop who has sent some of them to this hell.

After solving the shocking "Bronx Cross Murders" case, Detectives Stan Goldman and Barbara Moore knew they could use a break. A trip to Europe was just the ticket. And, with a best selling book based on the case, their publisher would be footing the bill (or so Stan hoped) as long as they signed some copies at bookstores and gave a few TV interviews.

But, given their natural tendencies, brought to life by Barb's experiences in that warehouse in the Bronx, the Kinky Detectives wouldn't make this just an ordinary tour.

Retired NYPD detective Stan Goldman just wants a nice quiet life. But his former detective partner and now life partner, Barbara Moore, is bored and driving Stan crazy with her plans to run around the world “investigating” things she has no business sticking her nose in, which will inevitably put her in peril, from which Stan will have to save her.

To distract her, he spins her a tale of the first case he ever solved, The Case of the Gotham Goth Girl. Even with that, she manages to commit several offenses that earn her a stern punishment in their basement playroom.
