Everyone has “the one that got away,” but what do you do when he comes back? That’s what homicide detective Gillian “Jilly” Delmar (a.k.a. the Wise Choice Herring heiress) is about to find out—in the middle of a murder investigation.
When objectionable Professor Reginald Breedlove of Jilly’s alma mater, Castleford College, dies under sinister circumstances, Detective Delmar catches the case. She also catches sight of criminal profiler Dr. Raphael Hanlon, her long lost true love—and soon-to-be subject of an upcoming original Netflix series—for the first time in nearly two decades.
