Having narrowly escaped dismissal and finally released from desk duties, Woman Police Constable Janet Miller is determined to refocus and demonstrate she is capable of being a responsible officer of the law. Matters refuse to go to plan when an old woman drops dead in the local library. To Janet's horror, she realizes the body is that of her favorite teacher from school and she is irresistibly drawn into a network of lies, greed, and deception. When it becomes clear there is a considerable fortune at stake, she struggles to make sense of motive and opportunity in a deeply complex situation embroiled in the tangled world of unintended pregnancy and adoption in the 1950s. Janet's personal life begins to unravel as she comes to believe that her professional life is facing a crime with no apparent solution. Finding herself without authority or evidence, she must decide whether to risk her job yet again or accept that some murders do go unsolved. Will she uncover enough evidence to bring the killer to justice or be forced to walk away from the puzzle to save her own life?
