Janine Lewis

Janine Lewis is Manchester's first female Detective Chief Inspector. She's also a single mother to three demanding children, and pregnant with a fourth and she has her first murder to investigate. An elderly dying man and a seven-year-old child are the only witnesses. This isn't going to be an easy case to crack for the new DCI...

Back at work after maternity leave, DCI Janine Lewis finds herself in the thick of two major investigations. The battered body of a young woman is recovered from the River Mersey and a schoolgirl is killed in a hit and run. As Janine and her team fight to unravel the story behind each death, she struggles with equally demanding dramas at home.
