Synopsis:

Renée Montoya has a very bad day. She is served while jogging in the park, as Marty Lipari, a rapist she failed to put away, is suing her for damages. She and Crispus Allen then get landed with a cold case from robbery, though they are able to wrap it up straight away. She then has an awkward dinner with her parents, who are anxious to become grandparents. That evening, she meets up with an old friend, and the next morning receives a visit from Esperanza and Conway of internal affairs. Brian Selker, a private investigator hired by Lipari, has been found dead, probably at Lipari's hand, and she should take care lest she run afoul of him as well. And when she gets in to work, a photograph has been pinned to the noticeboard, a photograph of her kissing another woman.
