The detectives in Josie's squad don’t fit the spit and polish image of the Adam 12 LAPD. They’re grubby, unshaven, disrespectful to authority, and generally do police work in an effective, if not by-the-book way. She’s comfortable balancing on the edge of legality to make a good arrest until one night an informant tells her that a cop has stepped over the line and is selling rock cocaine. In Josie’s mind, there’s nothing worse than dirty cops. She learns the hard way that they can be vicious, clever, and determined to do anything - including murder - to avoid capture.

London, november 1944. En ung flicka hittas brutalt mördad. Den vinterkalla staden är mörklagd på grund av kriget och polisens resurser är begränsade i en stad som tvingats ta emot flyktingar från ett härjat Europa. Flickan visar sig vara en polsk judinna, Rosa Nowak, som arbetade på den pensionerade kriminalkommissarien John Maddens gård. Tyngd av samvetskval bestämmer han sig för att hjälpa sina gamla kollegor vid Scotland Yard att lösa fallet.

Efter flera år i Scotland Yards tjänst har kriminalkommissarie John Madden dragit sig tillbaka. Tillsammans med hustrun Helen och deras två barn lever han ett stillsamt liv på landet i det fridfulla Surrey. Men minnena från hans svåraste fall sommaren 1921 då en psykopatisk krigsveteran satte skräck i en hel landsända gör sig fortfarande påminda då och då. När den tolvåriga Alice Bridge försvinner och en omfattande skallgångskedja sätts igång för att hitta henne blir Madden den som bokstavligen snubblar över hennes svårt sargade lik.

Det är sommaren 1921. John Madden vid Scotland Yard tillkallas av polisen i Guildford för att utreda de brutala morden på överste Fletcher och hans familj i Surrey. Den enda som överlevt är femåriga Sophy, men hon är så chockad att hon inte kan frågas ut och tas om hand av familjens läkare, Helen Blackwell. Lokalpolisen vill rubricera morden som inbrottsförsök, men Madden - som själv blivit vittne till många vansinnesdåd under kriget - är övertygad om att de begåtts av en psykopatisk krigsveteran som inte tvekar att slå till igen, och det snart.

Luglio 1932. A Napoli è arrivato il caldo, quello vero, e la città sembra precipitare nell'inferno. In una notte rovente, un notissimo chirurgo cade dalla finestra del suo ufficio. Un uomo dall'aria irreprensibile, ma con qualche magagna nella vita. Scartata presto l'ipotesi del suicidio, Ricciardi e il brigadiere Maione iniziano un'indagine che li porterà a fare i conti con i più indomabili sentimenti e passioni, e ad affrontare i lati oscuri dell'anima. Questa volta saranno le donne della loro vita a reclamare attenzione.

È l'estate del 1899, e l'Italia è più unita sulle mappe che nel cuore dei suoi abitanti. Il giovane vicebrigadiere Ghibaudo viene trasferito nell'entroterra sardo con un gruppo di carabinieri provenienti da tutto il Regno per fondare un avamposto nella lotta al brigantaggio. Il mondo che lo attende è profondamente diverso dalla Torino in cui è cresciuto: i crimini sono tanti, ma poche le denunce, a dimostrazione che lì i torti vengono raddrizzati non dalla legge ma dai coltelli. È dunque una sorpresa quando la popolana Lianora si rivolge ai carabinieri per un caso di furto.
