Excerpt:

It took a visible effort for Starsky to raise his head and meet his friend's eye. When he spoke, his voice was desperate for both understanding and comfort, yet not quite ready to accept either. "Hutch, I didn't care about them or the girl. Can't you see that? I didn't care." His voice rose on that last. "I was willing to let three people die because..." He broke off, horrified of what he was about to say, but the blond picked it up without hesitation.

"...because of me. It's all right to say it, Starsk. I ... know."

"I wasn't tryin' to blame you, Hutch. My problem. And what kind of a cop do you think that makes me?" He hung his head again.

"You idiot." Hutch gently ruffled the dark curls. "Do you honestly think I wouldn't have done the same thing?"

Jaw firming, Starsky met Hutch's gaze without hesitation. "No. I don't think you would have."

"Trouble with you, buddy, is that you don't think," Hutch retorted, not unkindly.
