A domestic at an upscale residential house. A husband, wife and the husband's mistress brawl by the pool. The next day, the mistress is found dead and Graci throws a hot case in Kingís lap...the husband, Henry Fielding Jr., is the son of the former Police Chief. The same Chief Jess King called "a corrupt ass-grabber" in a video that went viral online. King was banished to the phone room and Fielding Sr. was forced into retirement. But he still has many allies amongst the rank and file - maybe even Derek Spears. King and her team learn that the young woman was a stripper, pregnant, and struggling to get free of her biker employers - dreaming of a new life. Starting over with Danny and defending the hiring of the new MCTF detective, Pen Martin, Jessica King finds herself in a standoff with her most powerful enemy as she tries to dispense justice in death for a woman who never received it in life.
In a routine raid on a backroom poker game, a Detective is shot. The old Sergeant in charge of the raid was Kingís Training Officer and the wife of the critically wounded cop was Dannyís girlfriend. Things get remarkably more challenging for King when all the witnesses at the game dummy up. In this coke-fueled, high rolling, no-limit underworld, the MCTF team must figure out who is covering for whom and why. King has another gambling problem closer to home ñ a loan sharkís debt book shows Danny is still laying bets.
When a ransom payoff goes terribly wrong, Jess and her team must do everything in their power to free a kidnapped young girl. The MCTF ends up in the middle of a feud between two successful jewelers, discovering there is more to their rivalry than the competition to buy old gold. Just as the kidnappers increase their demand to a million dollars, complications arise with Jessí pregnancy, forcing her to run the investigation from bed. Time is running out, on and off the job, and Jess realizes that a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with the bad guys is her last best chance to save the victimís life.
Detective Sergeant Pete Rivers (Jess' ex-husband) is on the verge of wrapping up a major investigation into drug dealing and gun smuggling when heís carjacked - losing not just his vehicle but also his police issue laptop. The computer contains sensitive intelligence, including the real identity of an Undercover Officer who has managed to infiltrate the ruthless drug dealerís crew. King's assignment? Find the laptop before it falls into the wrong hands, make sure the illegal guns never end up on the streets, and figure out whether her ex-husband's character flaws (the same ones that ended their marriage) have put the project - and the Undercover Officer - in danger.
A multiple homicide leaves Jess on a razor's edge. An Indo-Canadian family is found brutally murdered. A dead Indian bride and a white groom. With a trail of blood leading right to the bride's brother. Should be a slam-dunk but King isn't so sure. With Graci under pressure from community leaders, a motive for murder becomes more and more elusive. Jess struggles to make sense of this horrendous crime and begins to suspect that the truth she uncovers may relate to a truth in her personal life she hasn't been willing to hear.
Jess is visiting her father, Louis King, after he's hospitalized with chest pains when a donated heart destined for high-profile philanthropist Freddy Boise disappears. With just five hours to find the missing heart and sort through daddy issues, Jess has to choose between the likely suspects - a jealous doctor, Boise's ambitious but solicitous daughter, a ward nurse who's equally solicitous of Louis King and a brilliant, imperious surgeon who seems to be very turned on by Spears.
When an up-and-coming fighter and his wife are brutally murdered, King and her team must delve into the hard-hitting, 'roid-raging universe of MMA fighting. Graci's under pressure from the new Mayor to come up with a quick decision, Spears is acting especially cagey and the victim's father is an old high school pal of Kingís dad. As she battles her way through cheating and shifting loyalties, Jess is compelled to see all the men in her life differently.
