Summary
A young mother, six weeks pregnant, reaches out to Detective Alia after being attacked by her on-again, off-again partner. Alia takes the case and gets to work, determined to get justice for her and her unborn child. But before she can get there, the case takes a turn that is as devastating as it is unexpected.
Detective Alia has 12 years of law enforcement experience with her agency. She spent eight years on patrol, including five as a Field Training Deputy, mentoring and developing new deputies. She then served three years in the Training Division, where she oversaw cadet instruction at the academy and coordinated agency-wide training initiatives. Detective Alia now serves as a Violent Crimes Detective, within the Criminal Investigations Division, where she investigates violent crimes against persons. She has also been a crisis negotiator for the past five years and remains on call 24/7 for hostage and barricaded subject incidents.
