Janet King

After the death of a young cricketer caught up in a betting scandal, Janet takes a job for the National Crime Commission investigating the dark world of organised crime and its links to match fixing and performance enhancing drugs.

Janet's estranged father re-enters her life when he comes under suspicion of fixing matches for the Northern Devils.

When Janet's own father becomes the NCC's prime suspect, she is torn between stepping away to avoid compromising the investigation and the need to pursue the truth. But as the evidence against her father grows, will a daughter's heart overrule a lawyer's head?

If Janet can find the drug responsible for Tyler's death, Nate will escape his manslaughter charge in exchange for revealing his knowledge of the betting syndicate. But Maxine wants Nate to keep his mouth shut, vowing to find the drug herself. With Nate's trial fast approaching, the race is on.

Janet's support for homeless teen Pearl Perati leads her not only to the drug that contributed to the death of Pearl's brother, but a doping scandal with the Northern Devils that sees sports agent Maxine Reynolds become the prime suspect behind the betting syndicate.

As the NCC close in on the man who forced Clay to kill himself, Janet discovers who is behind the betting syndicate, placing both herself and her father in danger.
