Kate’s blood is true
blue–as in the thin blue line. The first funeral she attended, as a child, was
for her grandmother’s partner, killed on duty. The latest was for her father
Joe Garrett.
Joe wasn’t the
greatest husband, but he was a good father to Kate. He taught her how to
observe and remember details about people and places. While other kids played
“I Spy,” Kate played “I Detect.” When he was forced to retire after being shot,
he also taught her some of the specialized skills of being a private
investigator–like schmoozing client.
Though she loved
theatre and excelled in psychology, Kate was destined for a career in policing.
When she made detective before she turned thirty, Joe foresaw his daughter
having a brilliant career as a police detective before eventually taking his
place in Garrett Investigations.
It was in the bag.
And then Joe is in the
bag–a body bag. Kate inherits half her father’s business. The other half goes
to Joe’s partner Jake Carmedy, former Military Police officer.
From Kate’s point of
view, Carmedy came between her and her father. It wasn’t just that he’s Joe’s
new protégé. She can handle that. Carmedy is a jerk. She’s spent the last ten
years, since first meeting him, trying to avoid him.
This isn’t an option
any more. Like it or not, Carmedy is her partner. The question remains, for how
long?
