Why this must be read: Sue David’s story is so beautifully dark and so full of love that this mix makes the tale unputdownable. I love pre-series stories and in Just One Click Away I got over 92,000 words describing times that were only mentioned in the show and it was a delicious treat :)

Starsky was starting to lose his composure. "What about me? Huh? Have you thought about what it would do to me?" His voice was panicked and he wasn't sure if he should make a move now or wait. He knew it would be better if Hutch surrendered.

The partners' mutual pain electrified the room. Starsky maintained his steady stream of unspoken prayer that whatever he said or did would be the right thing to save his partner's life, even if it meant losing his own. He was sworn to protect him and that was what he intended to do, regardless of the cost. Hutch reached up with his left hand and gently wiped at the tears on Starsky's face.

"I'm sorry," Hutch muttered. "I'm so sorry."
