Danny Quinn is a sharp, methodical investigator known for his intellect and unerring instinct for detail. Grieving the recent loss of his wife, Lisa, Danny has retreated from the noise and action of New York City to a peaceful mountain cabin in North Carolina, seeking solitude and healing. Though reserved and carrying emotional scars, Danny's gentle humor and dry wit surface around those he trusts. He's a man of deep empathy, often disarming suspects simply by listening. While he tries to distance himself from police work, his respect in the field means his quiet retirement rarely goes uninterrupted. Danny keeps his late wife's memory close-her influence is evident in his compassionate approach to both victims and culprits. After the last adventure of the Steven Family secrets, he enjoyed working with Lucy again and hopes to see her again. Danny likes to relax on his porch and look at birds and nature. Somebody knocked at his door... Who can it be? A Sheriff Maxwell from a nearby city. Recommended by the N.Y. The chief of police and Sheriff Caldwell. "What can I do for you?" exclaimed Danny. Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Quinn There was a fire in a warehouse, and somebody is dead. Okay, but I have to deal with it. "Well, I have a problem here, and you are the person who can solve it fast." But I am retired; I'm not in the force anymore. I know Sheriff Caldwell told me, but I need you. Is that warehouse far away? It's about an hour drive from here. "Okay, let me grab my coat. You'll explain to me on the way there."
