Badge Street Blues
Caldmere Police Dept, Caldmere

Everyone has something to hide.
The best investigator on a force that doesn't always deserve her. Meticulous, empathetic, and increasingly frustrated with a department culture that values closing cases over solving them.
A former PGA Tour hopeful who washed out and landed at Pinecrest. Likable, athletic, and far more observant than his easygoing demeanor suggests.
A French-Canadian transplant who came to Caldmere for the seafood. An extraordinary chef, a terrible businessman. His food is transcendent. His management style is volcanic.
