Synopsis

Kate Ryan is a middle-aged, accident prone, ex-private investigator. Emphasis on 'ex' as she and her partner gave up their profession after their last case nearly cost both of them, their lives. They wisely decided to limp away with whatever dignity and body parts they had left. Unfortunately, Kate will forever carry the scar to remind her of her folly that nearly took her life and plagues her heart and soul. Vowing never again to let her emotions rule her reason, Kate decides to go back to her first love, free-lance photography. For the next few years, she exists alone in - "My emotionally detached loop," as Kate proudly calls it. Then all hell breaks loose and Kate drops a loop. Enter young Dr. Maggie Winfield and her adorable Aunt Martha. Kate literally stumbles into their lives one autumn morning and becomes an unwitting participant in their tangled web. Clues unravel in their small little hamlet and old secrets are sadly revealed. Kate's long forgotten instincts now compel her to untangle this web of deceit. In the midst of all this murder and mayhem, the detached photographer finds herself in a position she never thought she would be in again. It seems the feisty Dr. Winfield is having an unexpected, yet pleasant effect on her. The elusive Kate combines forces with the sarcastic Maggie, as they become the nucleus for this ongoing series.

About this title

Synopsis:

The disappearance of three women in the FBI witness protection program leads FBI Special Agent Adison to a small artsy town in Northern California. Her mission - go undercover, and collect evidence on two suspected gangs. Two years later, with no leads in the gang activity in Sunrise, Adison has adapted to the unfamiliar pressures of little time away from her job in an unexpected way. Normally a reticent loner, she finds her characterization of an outgoing person has opened her up to friendships, something she normally shuns, leading her to think of other life possibilities. The idea of setting down roots in the engaging community becomes a conscious thought when she realizes her assignment is drawing to a close. The line between her made undercover persona and who she wants to be blurs further when SID sends in a civilian to be used as bait. Adison finds herself in love for the first time in her life, with little experience in how to handle it, especially when it crosses her professional boundaries. Will either survive to explore the possibilities?
