It’s a chilly Auckland winter, but for Hana Westerman and her family, it is a time of excitement. Matariki is approaching – the small cluster of stars also known as the Seven Sisters is a sacred constellation in Māori culture, heralding a time of new beginnings. But this Matariki brings unwelcome change. When Hana’s ex-husband Jaye, a high-flying Detective Inspector, is shot in what looks like a random hold-up, Hana offers her help to the senior police officer spearheading the investigation, DI Elisa Grey. With access to police intelligence, Hana makes a breakthrough.

Hana Westerman è una donna tenace. A quarant'anni non ancora compiuti è già capo di una squadra investigativa: una brillante carriera che rischiara l'ombra che la opprime da quando, giovanissima, si è schierata contro la comunità maori in cui è cresciuta ad Auckland, Nuova Zelanda. Un giorno come tanti, riceve una mail anonima con un filmato amatoriale in allegato. Un video apparentemente privo di senso, brevissimo, girato di notte, che inquadra l'interno di un edificio fatiscente, inagibile da anni e ormai dimora di senzatetto e tossicodipendenti.

Anwältin Stephanie hat einen schweren Fall von Wirtschaftskriminalität auf dem Tisch. Da es eine Verbindung zu einem Swinger-Club gibt, stattet Stephanie diesem zusammen mit einer jungen Kollegin einen Besuch ab. Was die beiden dort an Sex und Hingabe sehen, verschlägt ihnen den Atem. Ohne es zu wollen, überkommt sie die Lust und sie lassen sich von diesem erotischen Abenteuer - ganz im Sinne des zu lösenden Falles - sexuell mitreißen...

Having left Auckland's Central Investigation Branch, Hana Westerman has moved to the coast for a fresh start. When the skeleton of a young Māori woman who went missing a decade before is discovered in the dunes near her house, Hana is drawn into the investigation. Twenty years ago a schoolfriend of hers was found buried in the exact same spot. But her killer died in prison. Did the police get the wrong man? And, if so, why did he plead guilty? No longer part of the CIB, Hana turns to her ex-husband Jaye for help.
