Nicola Payne has been a homicide detective for years, finding bodies, finding killers, looking for her own answers to decade-long questions.
The trail has led her to a city called Grimsborough, which is nothing like her previous placement. Payne enjoys a challenge, however, and soon her new friends will learn that. What they'll also learn is that Payne has many secrets, some more dangerous to know about than others.
And what will Nicola Payne learn? How to act like a normal human being, even at work? How to protect those near to her? How to trust people with her deepest darkest secrets? Only time will tell, as she searches for the evidence that will lead to the truth. Even if she may hate it.
