Dot La Salle

Inspector Dorothea LaSalle is nearing sixty - and the end of a long, unremarkable career in the police force. Or so she believes.

Balancing the care of a mother slipping into dementia and a husband growing increasingly distant, Dorothea is blindsided when her orderly life descends into chaos: a whirlwind of murder, drugs, corruption, and kidnapping. And to make matters worse-her own boss thinks she's at the centre of it all.

With her reputation in ruins and time running out, Dorothea turns to the only allies she has left: her idealistic rookie stepson and a loyal Detective Constable. Together, they must work off the books, navigating a criminal world where the players know the system better than she ever did.

Now, Dorothea must outrun the very law she spent her life upholding and expose a conspiracy that could destroy everything - before it destroys her first.
