I’m a cop. I’m a lieutenant detective in… homicide. That’s a fancy name for murder. We’ve got plenty of tough cases. We solve most of them, for sure, but how… I hardly know one thing, one way that breaks them wide open. Tension. Work on people. Suspects… Play up to them. Play up to their strengths, pour it on their weaknesses. Romance ’em or ignore ’em. Kiss ’em, press ’em. But whatever way, keep stretchin’. Everything, everybody’s got a breaking point. And when they get stretched so tight they can’t take it any longer…

Tension proves to be a delicious example of a story featuring a quintessential femme fatale and a whole lot more. – Edgar Chaput
