Catching killers, juggling life... it's all in a day's work- A single-mom cop who brooks no nonsense at home or on the job. When strangers ask Janine Lewis what she does for a living, she tells them, 'crisis management'. And she's not kidding. As detective chief inspector, she supervises a squad of cops investigating some of Manchester's most brutal, highly publicized crimes. As a single mom, she wrestles with soccer practices, field trips, and schoolwork for her four children. She handles her daily crises with energy and aplomb, protecting her kids as well as the detectives under her command with a fierce maternal affection. Award-winning actress Caroline Quentin (Jonathan Creek, Men Behaving Badly) portrays Janine with the perfect combination of toughness and tenderness. And Ian Kelsey (Casualty) brings a subtle vulnerability to his role as DI Richard Mayne, the lead detective on Janine's team. These tense, tightly plotted mysteries show the everyday trials and triumphs of a woman balancing career and g-british, g-family.
