Destrozado por las tragedias de su propia vida, de alguna manera se las arregla para levantarse y cavar un poco más profundo que los demás para encontrar las pistas vitales.

She has maintained a spotless reputation—until now. Three male police officers have accused her of soliciting sex in exchange for promotions to higher ranks. With few people left who she can trust, Chief Gomez turns to an old friend, Rik Dudek, to act as her attorney in the federal grand jury investigation, insisting to Rik that the accusations against her are part of an ugly smear campaign designed to destroy her career and empower her enemies—both outside the police force and within..

But Rik and Pinky feel that Chief Gomez&’s case, which has attracted national attention, is their chance to break into the legal big leagues. Guided by her gut instinct and razor-sharp investigative skills, Pinky dives headfirst into a twisted scandal that will draw her into the deepest recesses of the city&’s criminal networks, as well as the human mind.
