Cassandra Crestfield is a retired Secret Service agent living in the Cape Ann area of Massachusetts. During a stint of federal jury duty Cassy serves on an underworld related trial, then at the very end of it all is chosen as an alternate juror and is not allowed to deliberate. However, when that defendant is found not guilty, Cassy’s feelings of exclusion begin to make themselves known.

Ex FBI agent Elizabeth Hidden is gorgeous, nearsighted, fearless and extremely competent; she is also gay. Cassy is uncertain what part of those qualities scares her most.

The Boston underworld gets a shaking up once these two pair up. When the defendant from the trial Cassy heard asks them for help, all Cassy wants to do is run and hide.

Beth is determined to teach Cassy about what being an investigator is like. Cassy ends up learning more than she bargained for.
