It is also an election year in Honor and the man in charge of the investigation, Police Chief Phillip Robb, a man Reggie loves despite their tumultuous relationship, is fighting desperately to hold onto his job and his position of power. Reggie’s love for him will be tested time and time again when she discovers that not only are the locals doing all they can to paint her brother’s murder as some drug deal gone wrong, and therefore of little consequence, but that Robb himself seems to be leading the cover-up.
