What do you do when a good result might be wrong?
The rapid arrest and charging of a murder suspect is just what Coventry's Moat House police station needs to repair its battered reputation. The promise of an easy conviction might also redeem detectives Robinson Ellington Foxe and Amy Kennard in the eyes of their colleagues, who still distrust them after the fallout from their bruising first case.
So, when Robbie and Amy start to have doubts about who really killed Talia Vanderpere in her own home, they find themselves swimming against the tide yet again. And when links to an apparently unrelated murder are found, they face another battle to be taken seriously.
Meanwhile, as Robbie tries to come to terms with a personal tragedy and a devastating revelation, Amy finds herself fighting to uncover the reasons behind the attack in Manchester that nearly ended her career - and her life.
Will their search for answers lead to uncomfortable truths?
