7 BODIES

It was day one on the job for Detective Alexandra "Alex" Steele in D.C.'s Second District, and right off the bat she was assigned to work a cold case. A double homicide.

A Washington couple had been brutally murdered 9 years before in one of the capital city's upscale neighborhoods. All previous efforts to make headway in the case had resulted in dead ends.

As Alex looked into what little had previously been uncovered by other detectives, she slowly gathered more information. With each new and additional bit of evidence it became more and more apparent to her there was far more to the double murder than had met the eye.

Ultimately, the investigation would take her far beyond the nearby neighborhood where the homicides took place, and in a direction no one would ever have expected.
