He's a hero, winner of the Medal of Valor, devoted family man and coach, helping at-risk kids. But the driver who struck him down and didn't stop isn't ordinary either. He's Judge Frank Stevenson, up-and-coming member of the bench, also devoted to his wife and daughter, involved in charities and good works. In a split second he did something completely uncharacteristic that irrevocably changes his life and the lives of everyone close to him.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Terry Nye is a couple of weeks from retirement as a detective, head of Major Crimes. He's trying to pack thirty years of bloody experiences and hard lessons into those two weeks for his new partner, Rose Tafoya. Rose is a young detective, smart, more than a little ambitious, but also insecure. Together she and Nye are a powerhouse team. He's determined to find Ensor's assailant and he's going to make sure Rose doesn't make the same mistakes he did, especially the unforgivable one that has come back to darkly haunt him after Ensor's accident.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The city is in turmoil when Ensor dies and the hunt for a cop killer rushes ahead relentlessly, moving from Nye and Tafoya to Stevenson and his wife.

Stevenson is both stunned because he didn't stop that rainy night and steeled to do whatever he has to do to avoid the hunters. Even if it means committing more crimes. He's not just protecting himself. He's fighting for those he loves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Stevenson comes up with a brilliant scheme to throw Nye and Tafoya off the track.
