Sarah Linden is a homicide detective with the Seattle Police Department. A smart, competent cop, she often sees what other cops don't. Sarah is a silent watcher, taking everything in without ever revealing her hand. Outside of work, she's a distance runner, an emotional "lone wolf," and a single mom to whom motherhood doesn't come naturally. Determined to have a normal life separate from the daily horrors of her job, Sarah is ready to walk away, marry her fiancé, Rick Felder, and move her child and her life to Sonoma, California. However, the murder of Rosie Larsen could be the case that changes her life forever, and her determination to catch Rosie's murderer becomes a compulsion, a heinous crime that she must solve no matter what the cost to herself and her carefully made plans. As Sarah and her partner, former narcotics cop Stephen Holder, sort out the details of the case, her initial disdain for his brash approach to police work softens. After Holder produces a photograph that leads to the arrest of Councilman Darren Richmond for Rosie's murder, Sarah congratulates Holder for being "a pretty good cop," before later learning that Holder's photo is a fake.
