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.

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.

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?
