It's two years after the death of Tim Hess, her partner
and the father of her child, and Merci is working hard to
hold it all together. She and her son are living with her
father. She's also dating Mike McNally, a respected
fellow officer. Merci and Mike are the golden couple on
the force, and even if Merci doesn't passionately love
him, there's a sort of comfortable inevitability to it all.
But everything explodes when a young prostitute is found
brutally murdered and Mike emerges as the primary
suspect. The lead investigator on the case, Merci must do
the unthinkable—expose and arrest her lover. Sifting
through the clues with a growing sense of panic and
outrage in her gut, Merci has to work hard to balance
where the truth is leading her against where her heart is
telling her to go. Meanwhile, an old unsolved case from
the sixties is thrown on her desk—the murder of Patti
Bailey, another prostitute with ties to the force—and the
two cases conspire to turn Merci's world upside down.
