Description: The apparent suicide of an ex-cop leads Sarah Burke to investigate three bizarre deaths in three years in the same family. What are they hiding? Sarah Burke's Saturday off is interrupted when she is called to a shooting - a rookie cop has been involved in a shootout with a criminal stealing copper wire from a warehouse. When the criminal in question turns out to be ex-cop and Red Man Ed Lacey, Sarah is shocked. The evidence suggests he wanted the cop to shoot him. But why? Sarah and her team delve into Ed's life, and soon decide to re-open an investigation into three deaths. The more they investigate, the more obstacles they encounter - particularly from the family, who quickly close ranks. What are they hiding?
