Overview:

Private investigator Lena Padget has seen far too many women and children fall through the legal system's many cracks. Lena champions these victims, redeeming as many of them as she can. Joel Mendez, the brilliant homicide detective who brought Lena's sister's killer to trial, is now Lena's lover. But now the circumstances surrounding a baffling new case seem poised to pull Joel and Lena apart. For three months running, Joel has immersed himself in a labyrinthine investigation full of dead ends involving the disappearance of college intern Cheryl Dunkirk. Cheryl's sister Cynthie, meanwhile, has turned for help to Lena. Just as Lena agrees to look into the case herself, Joel extracts a surprising murder confession from ATF Field Agent Cory Edgers. But as Joel becomes more and more sympathetic to Edgers's version of events, Lena finds herself feeling increasingly skeptical.
