Inspector Evelyn Laurent is used to being underestimated. At twenty-seven, she is young, brilliant, highly skilled and looks nothing like what people expect from a homicide officer. With her doll-like beauty, long brown hair and polished appearance, most people assume she belongs anywhere but a police station. They usually change their minds after working with her. After rejecting a powerful superior's proposal, Evelyn is transferred to a city with a higher crime rate, heavier workload and a homicide team she has never met. What begins as an obvious punishment quickly becomes something else. Murders. Cartel operations. Late-night arrests. Chaotic investigations. Department rivalries. Officers who slowly become more than coworkers. A station that never seems to sleep. And somewhere between crime scenes, midnight meals and a prosecutor who knows exactly how to test her temper, Evelyn begins finding her place in a city she never planned to stay in. They call her Barbie. She doesn't mind. Underestimating her, however, might be a mistake.
