description: Being on the Murder Squad is nothing like Detective Antoinette Conway dreamed it would be. Her partner Stephen Moran is the only person who seems glad shes there. The rest of her working life is a stream of thankless cases vicious pranks and harassment. Antoinette is savagely tough but shes getting close to the breaking point. Their new case looks like yet another by-the-numbers lovers quarrel gone bad. Aislinn Murray is blond pretty groomed-to-a-shine and dead in her catalog-perfect living room next to a table set for a romantic dinner. Theres nothing unusual about herexcept that Antoinettes seen her somewhere before. And that her death wont stay in its neat by-numbers box. Other detectives are trying to push Antoinette and Steve into arresting Aislinns boyfriend fast. Theres a shadowy figure at the end of Antoinettes road. Aislinns friend is hinting that she knew Aislinn was in danger. And everything they find out about Aislinn takes her further from the glossy passive doll she seemed to be. Antoinette knows the harassment has turned her paranoid but she cant tell just how far gone she is. Is this case another step in the campaign to force her off the squad or are there darker currents flowing beneath its polished surface?
