Trespassers

Breslin and McCann continue to act guilty, and now O'Kelly joins them.  Someone seems to be following Antoinette.  Cops harassing her--at work and away from work.  Stuff on her desk is moved around, examined.

Theories:  1)  Rory did it in a fit of rage.  Annoying that A. and Steve keep acting as if this is possible as they have no case and the guy just doesn't fit.   2) Aislinn, looking for her missing dad, had a 2nd beau, a gangster, who killed her.  This is "done in" by the news that dad is dead and has been for some time.  He's just a guy who ran away from a bad marriage.  3) Dad is still alive. Dad is a gangster or was in the pocket of gangsters. A gangster killed Antoinette.  4) The cops in her squad are completely corrupt.  The murder is to keep the corruption from spilling into public, so they want Rory sent up pronto.

Style:  Antoinette's kick-ass tough girl is wearing me down.  The honest, heart-of-gold underneath and all that.   Steve also is annoying at times.  Who would take A's crap all the time and still like her?  He doesn't dish anything out.  But . . . still very enjoyable.

Prediction:  Dad is/was alive.  Police corrupt. Not gangs . . . but something else.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
