The early hours of a freezing January night. Special Constable Jane Bell
is at the end of a busy late shift when she's called out to investigate
strange noises in a local park. She finds a wailing new-born baby girl
dumped in a plastic storage box.
That same night Detective Steph Warwick attends the murder of coach
driver Bernie Gore, whose battered body is found in a narrow alleyway.
The last thing Jane wants is to lock horns with Steph Warwick once
again. Then vital evidence emerges linking Bernie Gore's murder to the
abandoned baby. And Jane has no choice but to alert the sharp-tongued
detective inspector.
To solve Bernie's murder and track down Baby Elsa's mother, the two
women must bury the hatchet and learn to work together.
Matters become even more complicated when a prime suspect emerges - with
close links to Jane's family.
