A shoot-out with a deadly cartel member has left her mentor, Sergeant Doaks, fighting for his life, and while her boyfriend, FBI agent Stone O'Neill, undergoes surgery to save his leg, Katie finds herself uncertain about what the future holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo weeks later, everything has changed. Hood is back on the job, and thanks to a temporary promotion, she's now head of the Mangrove Sheriff's Department homicide squad. With Agent O'Neill working by her side, she tackles her first big case as sergeant: twenty-three dead bodies found buried in the sand at Coca Plum Beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs they dive into the investigation of a potential serial killer, a string of other crimes also surfaces, making matters more complicated.
