For as long as Lucia Gomez has been the police chief in thecity of Highland Isle, near Kindle County, she has known that any woman in lawenforcement must walk a precarious line between authority and camaraderie togain respect. She has maintained aspotless reputation—until now. Three male police officers have accused her ofsoliciting sex in exchange for promotions to higher ranks. With few people leftwho she can trust, Chief Gomez turns to an old friend, Rik Dudek, to act as herattorney in the federal grand jury investigation, insisting to Rik that theaccusations against her are part of an ugly smear campaign designed to destroyher career and empower her enemies—both outside the police force and within.. Clarice “Pinky” Granum spent most of her youth experimentingwith an impressive array of drugs and failing out of various professions,including the police academy. Pinky knows that in the eyes of most people,she's nothing but a screwup—but she doesn't trust most people's opinionsanyway. Moreover, she finally has a respectable-enough job as a licensed P.I.working for Rik on his roster of mostly minor cases, like workman's comp, DUIsand bar fights. Rik's shabby office and even shabbier cases are a far cry fromthe kinds of high-profile criminal matters Pinky became familiar with in thelaw office of her grandfather, Sandy Stern. But Rik and Pinky feel that ChiefGomez’s case, which has attracted national attention, is their chance to breakinto the legal big leagues. Guided by her gut instinct and razor-sharp investigativeskills, Pinky dives headfirst into a twisted scandal that will draw her intothe deepest recesses of the city’s criminal networks, as well as the humanmind. But she will need every scrap of tenacity and courage to unravel the darksecrets those closest to her are determined to keep hidden.
