An abandoned toddler is left at a supermarket with a well loved rabbit soft toy and a note asking for Casey to be looked after and that it wouldn’t be safe to look for the mother. Alana (Alan) Mack is the detective in charge and takes Casey under her wing. Alan has recently been recovering from an accident, leaving her wheelchair bound. She asks her ex-husband, an child psychiatrist to analyse Casey using art therapy. Meanwhile, another case of discarded organs discovered in an alley suddenly becomes linked to Casey, as DNA shows a familial match. A great start to a new series, I can see a strong future for Alan Mack and her team. A gritty and graphic plot, and involves a lot of abuse triggers. Looking forward to the next instalment already.
