Under Suspicion

Det. Rose ""Phil"" Phillips, a detective with Portland Oregon's police homicide squad, is appointed the Women's Coordinator, raising hackles among her co-workers. But she soon becomes involved in more weighty matters after her friend and partner disappears, prompting worries from his wife and daughter , and leading to the involvement of a tough Internal Affairs Investigator in the case.

Now undermanned in the homicide division due to the death of Fusco and LeBlanc, and the arrest of the third officer, Phil is on the case of an apparent serial killer, who leaves a strange symbol inscribed at his murder scenes.

All the evidence seems to point to Judge Friedlander, but Phil comes dangerously close to badgering him and endangering her career, and possibly her life, in pursuit of the serial killer.

Shane Fusco's best friend is kidnapped while she and Shane walk through the park, and Phil is soon involved (more than she should be) questioning Shane about the events, and investigating the girl's disappearance. Meanwhile, a new detective by the name of Beck joins the force to close the manpower gap, and helps Phil with the case, the kind of case which Beck just happens to be an expert in.

When Shane's friend Rita turns up murdered, Phil, with the help of Beck, and another new detective by the name of Papadakis must investigate the murder from the pieces of evidence. Meanwhile, Shane becomes distant and withdrawn from Phil, and the world.

While Phil and Beck are in a restaurant, Phil spots a husband abusing his wife, so Phil threatens to bust him. And when the wife turns up dead, Phil is out for blood.
