Detective Don Frederickson's fast track to retirement was derailed when the 911 call came in with a missing person report. Blood on the scene at Detroit's Kennedy Charter Academy thrust Frederickson into events that will have major political implications. The detective, once regarded by many as an outstanding investigator, was promoted downtown to headquarters, when it all hit the fan, as he told friends. After becoming a target in an Internal Affairs investigation, although exonerated, he was banished to the twelfth precinct, an outpost on the city's lower east side. Well-loved teacher, Tommy Dansforth, was missing. He wasn't in his classroom but his car was found abandoned in the lot. School records showed he recently had problems with an unruly student. The investigation brought questions about the attractive new sixth grade teacher. Police tried to notify Dansforth's wife, but she couldn't be found either. After the detective became embroiled in the case, the new District Attorney wanted to be involved. Frederickson wondered how things could get much worse. What would all of this have to do with a ... Murder in Greektown?
