A year and a half ago a woman’s body was found floating in the heart-shaped pond of a Halifax, Nova Scotia, city park. Since then the case has grown colder than the North Atlantic. With no leads, no suspects, and under pressure to solve the case, the Cold Case Unit is so desperate they've resorted to a very long-shot. A long-shot named Danielle Renaud.
RCMP Constable Danielle Renaud is thrilled when she's finally given the chance to prove herself worthy of a permanent position in Major Crimes. But be careful what you wish for…
What starts off as a thrilling new assignment for Danielle quickly turns into a nightmare as everything around her once predictable life begins to unravel—including her same-sex relationship.
Lilly Marsh is a beautiful Mi’kmaq Crown attorney working on Danielle's side of the law. Or is she? Could her own ambitions be so lofty that she'd sabotage her best friend's case to further her own career? Though it might not matter since Danielle might get done in by her own inexperience first—if she doesn’t learn quickly from her mistakes, that is.
As Danielle unveils the depths of her complicated case layer by layer, she must decipher where to put her trust and learn some valuable lessons, or she too might end up getting slayed. After all, not all slayings are of the body. Some are of the heart and soul.
