In Southern Cross Cornwell takes us even closer to the personal and professional lives of big-city police in a story of corruption scandal and robberies that escalate to murder. This time her setting is Richmond Virginia where Charlotte Police Chief Judy Hammer has been brought by an NIJ grant to clean up the police force. Reeling from the recent death of her husband and resented by the police force city manager and mayor of Richmond Hammer is joined by her deputy chief Virginia West and rookie Andy Brazil on the most difficult assignment of her career. In the face of overwhelming public scrutiny the trio must bring truth order and sanity to a city in trouble.
