Can a rookie cop deal with misogyny and solve a baffling double murder?

Detective Sergeant Laura Hollis is newly promoted to an elite investigative team. She is determined to prove herself capable of planning operations and solving crimes on her own.

When the body of a young woman is found in a lake, and there are few obvious clues, Laura comes into conflict with team leader Detective Chief Inspector Chappell, a police officer with his own foibles. DS Hollis fixes on an immediate suspect: when a second body is found, killed in a similar manner and with possible links to the first murder, she confronts the need to change her mind.

Will her headstrong attitude lead to the solving of the two murders or, will she be risking her own life when pursuing her single-minded search for the guilty parties?
