Before the case that changes everything, meet PC Natalie Roberts—shaped by Ryhope, driven by ten years on the force, and determined to prove herself.

Grayson returns to Ryhope and discovers the threads of his family’s past — from the marching jazz band his ancestors helped build to the mining legacy that shaped the village for generations.
