As a mother of four unruly teens, and a DCI managing a large team within Greater London police, she knows how to handle difficult people and get the best out of them.

But trying to be everything to everybody is taking its toll on her nerves and her marriage. She’s got a keen sense of humour and knows River well enough to see through him when he tries to placate her. She needs the brilliant River in her team but is also worried about his state of mind – both as his boss, and as his friend.

Nobody will be left untouched or unchanged by the quest to find out why Stevie was killed – not least Chrissie, whose life is built on more fragile foundations than she thought.
