He runs inside to help, finding her bleeding from a fatal stab wound. Neighbors see him covered in her blood and call the police.

With Cardamine, his sharp-witted wife at his side, they dive into the city's underbelly - roughing up street thugs and corporate sharks alike. Everyone's got a motive, and anyone could be the killer. But time's running out, and the law is closing in fast.
