Plot

Tempe is still unsure whether to continue her romantic relationship with Andrew Ryan. Tempe and Ryan set out to Chicago to clear her name, where much to Tempe’s annoyance, Ryan bonds with Tempe’s estranged ex-husband’s family while waiting for his flight back to Montreal.

In Montreal, Tempe is convinced that the recent deaths of three more old women are somehow connected with the death of the heiress. The informant who placed the call turns up dead and Tempe is once more at a dead end. Although she is usually very meticulous in handling her cases, it seems that she makes more and more mistakes. Is someone from inside sabotaging her, and why? Her alleged mistakes are made public; now not only her career is at risk – her life is in danger too.
