As Hoolihan delves deeper into the case, she becomes increasingly convinced that Jennifer's death was not a suicide but a murder. She interviews Jennifer's colleagues, friends, and family, and uncovers a tangled web of secrets and lies that suggest Jennifer's death was linked to her work and personal relationships.

She must also navigate the politics and bureaucracy of the police department, which threaten to derail her investigation at every turn.
