She’s not a police detective, but she played one on TV.

For two decades Kate Parks played a detective on the hit television series Murder is My Beat. But when her show gets canceled, and her sister dies unexpectedly, Kate reluctantly agrees to go back to Florida even though she vowed that she would never set foot in the Sunshine State again.

The police have ruled her sister Layla’s death a suicide, but Kate has her doubts. She believes Layla was murdered.

Layla’s former boss, Paddy Donovan, does everything in his power to dissuade Kate from digging deeper into her sister’s death. He knows that Layla was involved with shady characters on both sides of the law. 

But Kate is too stubborn to let sleeping alligators lie. And when she stirs up trouble looking for her sister’s killer, she finds herself caught between the Irish mafia and the city’s corrupt police department, with both sides willing to do whatever it takes to keep her quiet.
