| Summary |
She's a wife, a mom, an LAPD captain and compelling no matter what she does. Meet Capt. Josie Corsino, a good cop. She's been that for two decades plus, is proud of her achievement, remains passionate about the work, regards it as a high calling and hates bent cops. Unfortunately, she's about to confront a mess of them. The complex, frequently embittering case that flushes them out begins in the Hollywood hills and centers on the murder of Hillary Dennis, a teenage movie star with connections going every which way: to a powerful, eminently dislikeable city councilman, to his wayward son, to organized crime and, yes, to the upper reaches of the LAPD. As murder follows murder, Josie battles a variety of dubious agendas while trying desperately to protect embattled colleagues--often as not from their own self-destructive behavior. Meanwhile, trouble looms on her domestic front. After 20 years of marriage her husband is suddenly restive. Her beloved, quixotic son--who may, incidentally, have been closer to Hillary Dennis than was wise--also has issues with her. "You really don't give an inch, do you?" David says, "You look and talk like other mothers, but you've got the heart of a gunnery sergeant." |
