Description
When a colleague becomes seriously ill, Chief Superintendent Fran Harman has to delay her impending retirement to oversee an investigation into a recent spate of ‘happy-slappings’ and minor assaults in the area.
The wave of incidents has ignited a media furore and Fran soon finds herself having to spend as much time trying to control the press as trying to catch the criminals. However, the local reporter who initially broke the story may have personal reasons for taking such an avid interest in the case.
As the crimes escalate in severity, Fran must call on all her resources in order to resolve the nightmare that has developed around her.
