Fraser realises that the meat in a local market is actually horsemeat and he and Ray discover a number of recent poisonings in the Chicago area.

Fraser reunites with Victoria, the only woman he ever loved but was forced to arrest years earlier. Their time is limited, however, as Victoria's old partner is after her, looking for the money he believes she stole from him.

Fraser ends up in hot water when Jolly ends up dead and Victoria disappears, with Fraser the only suspect in Jolly's murder.
