Kindle County

Lucia Gomez, the police chief in Highland Isle near Kindle County, has fought hard for decades to maintain a spotless reputation - until now, when out of the blue, three officers accuse her of solicting sex in exchange for promotions. With few people left to trust Gomez turns to an old friend, Rik Dudek, to act as her attorney in the federal grand jury investigation. She insists the accusations are an ugly smear campaign designed to destroy her career and empower her enemies - both outside the police force and within. Clarice "Pinky" Granum spent most of her twenties failing out of various professions. Pinky knows that in the eyes of most people, she's nothing but a screwup - but now she finally has a respectable-enough job as a licensed PI working for Rik. His shabby office and even shabbier cases are a far cry from the high-profile criminal matters Pinky worked on in the law office of her grandfather, Sandy Stern. But Gomez's case, which has attracted national attention, is their chance to break into the big leagues. Guided by her gut instinct and razor-sharp investigative skills, Pinky dives into a twisted scandal that will draw her into the deepest recesses of the city's criminal networks, as well as the human mind. But she will need every scrap of tenacity to unravel the dark secrets those closest to her are determined to keep hidden
