Just when Detective Sergeant Kate Power thought her life was improving, things start to get complicated again. Her house may be habitable, but Alf the handyman uncovers something under her shed that will hold up work on her garden for weeks. What seemed like a straightforward series of arson attacks results in the death of a vagrant - and the case is removed from Kate's hands. And a quiet tennis lesson is interrupted by the discovery of a woman's body in the tennis centre's shower.
Just when she was bonding with her squad in Birmingham's CID, Kate finds herself transferred to a new elite team - much, however, against the will of the DI in charge. It's not long before she's suspended. And Kate finds herself fighting more than the obvious criminals.
