In a nearby hospital, a tiny baby is fighting for its life with terrible injuries. Downstairs, in the cells at a Hertfordshire police station, the parents are undergoing questioning. They say the injuries were caused at birth. Jo must decide: release the parents to comfort their sick baby? Or investigate them as suspects and keep them in custody?

And she has to cope with leading the investigation in the same year her husband is being treated for a serious blood cancer.
