Description
Richmond, Virginia's police department is facing a crisis, with escalating crime statistics and a lack of solutions. Enter Judy Hammer, who brings her expertise to tackle the problem alongside Deputy Chief Virginia West and Andy Brazil.
The team soon discovers that the city's familiar problems - teenage gangs, robberies, street corner drug-dealing, racial tensions, and a shortage of parking spaces - are just the tip of the iceberg. A computer virus crashes the police system, freezing screens with an unusual design, while a mysterious graffiti artist has transformed the statue of Jefferson Davis into a symbol for a local gang.
As Judy Hammer and her team work to unravel the mystery behind the blue fish design and its connection to the robberies, they must navigate the challenges of a city in crisis. With its fast-paced action and emotional depth, this police procedural will keep you on the edge of your seat as it takes you on a thrilling ride through the streets of Richmond.
