Two stories are running simultaneously. Ali gets a call from her daughter-in-law Athena about Athena's grandmother and how the cops do not believe someone tried to kill her. Ali gets High Noon to take on her case and set up surveillance in her house. Meanwhile, one of Ali's friends is called to a local hospital to help out when there was a car crash late at night involving a young girl and her baby. Ali soon learns that there is more to the story and gets involved here, too. The characters were interesting and the two story lines kept me engaged throughout. It was hard to read about what was happening with the young woman and where she had grown up but overall I enjoyed the story. I wish there was more Stewart in this one.
