this is a greek american woman who is a detective in ny. she has a boyfriend who wants to marry her but shes not sure she wants to get married. she is raising her dead sisters 10 yr old daughter. her boyfriend is mad at her for not wanting to get married

so she doesnt put him on the case with her when there is a murder of a politician. his wife is sick in bed with rheumatoid arthritis. the son is gay and lives with a older gay man who is his boyfriend and a younger girl. the son is missing and everyone is looking for him. he ran out of his parents pent house the day of the shooting with a bruise to his face where his father hit him. no one is saying what the fight was about. he wanted money his father refused to give him and his mom had no money of her own

the dad was found shot dead in a car and there is a second shot to his groin area, that happened after he was dead.

there is a crying woman who worked in his office, she thought he would divorce his wife and marry her after the election. they were having a affair.

its good so far, i only started this morning.

still looking for the missing son. there is a second dead person that is killed with the same gun years before. now there is another person shot only once....she still has not told the boyfriend she will marry him, i hope she does! hes keeping his ground and staying away . she was taken off the case then put back on.

oh my gosh it was the nurse, who was the mother of the murdered girl. she killed all 3 of them!
