Jim Tarrent and Jenn Tarrent are settling down to a new routine in their detective agency following their marriage. They have the usual mix of cases, but also pick up a case for military intelligence involving two dead service personnel discovered in unusual circumstances while Jim plugs away at solving a child hit and run mystery no matter what it costs. However, both cases lead them into murky territory where simple objectives have morphed into potential scandals that no-one on high wants revealed. Jim's unusual evidence gathering skills and Jenn's organisation lead them further on than anyone else, but perhaps the outcome is not worth the trouble involved.
