Rose and Maloney

When it turns out that the victim was actually an undercover policeman, Rose and Maloney find themselves in a murky world of corruption and racism, which looks to hold the key to the case. But the deeper they probe, the more danger they find themselves in.

Vincent Parris seeks the CJRA to investigate his father's conviction for the murder of a fellow prisoner, after having been the victim of racism. George Parris had already been jailed for armed robbery, but his family believe that the police had framed him. As Rose and Maloney delve deeper into the case, someone is out to stop them.

Devastating revelations about the Campeses cause the detective duo to wonder if they've made a terrible mistake in securing Katie's release — could she be the murderer after all?

When the Government orders that cases where the defendants were convicted of infanticide due to evidence from expert witnesses may be reviewed, Rose and Maloney dig up Katie Phelan, convicted of killing a baby in her care on the evidence of Dr Diane Marquis. The duo learn that the child's parents also had another who died, and they believe that they have a case of cot death, until the family doctor drops a bombshell.

As the investigation deepens, Rose is forced to battle her own demons as she's forced to cope with the knowledge that she has recently freed a man who is actually guilty of the crime for which he was sentenced. Will this impair her judgement, or will Maloney manage to steer the investigation back on course?

After being disgraced, investigator Rose Linden is assigned under administrative manager Marion Maloney at the Criminal Justice Review Agency (CJRA). Despite being told to resume light duties only, Rose ignores orders and soon drags Maloney into a case of injustice, involving a mother's plea that her son is not guilty of the rape and murder of his daughter.
