But joining Watts' team on the day of the murder is a tough first day on the job. It's what she's wanted ever since she left Cornwall and came to the big city of Bristol - but is she up to it?Lives intersect; people love and people get hurt. And DI Watts is in the middle of it determined to find the killer who has struck too close to home.
