When the daughter of San Francisco socialites is brutally assaulted, Jamie Vail makes it her mission to find the attacker. A seasoned Sex Crimes Inspector with the SFPD, work is what Jamie does best. She isn't distracted by the fact that her adopted son and the victim go to the same school. Jamie can almost set aside the fact that the man caught on tape with the victim is someone she's been wary of for years-her son's biological father. At home, her son is performing poorly in school, becoming more reclusive, and nothing she does can draw him out. More frightening is the fact that every piece of evidence brings her closer to home... As her case escalates into a homicide investigation, Jamie teams up with old allies and rookie club members from across the department. Loyalties are tested and the stakes raise as the case becomes frontpage news and the spotlight lands on her. With his future on the line, Jamie must find Charlotte's attacker to prove her son's innocence before he lands behind bars, or worse… THE ROOKIE CLUB, in series order: Dead Center One Clean Shot Dark Passage Interference Everything to Lose DR.
