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 KingĂs 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 passing for a woman who never received it in life.

As a Homicide Detective, Jessica King sees things that everyone else misses: in crime scenes, in evidence, in the motivations and drives of the suspects. A fearless and imaginative lateral thinker, her unique eye for detail turns cases around. And she has a rare quality: Jess doesn't need to be liked. That quality gets her into trouble.
When another Detective has a public, televised meltdown, Jessica King is called in to lead the Major Crimes Task Force - a police squad that is parachuted in to take over cases in crisis. cuddle, rape, robbery, gang violence, serial and predatory crime - everything's fair game.
