Tall, slim, and some would say elegant in an old fashioned way, she has never married. Her vocation as a policewoman is all consuming.
Long ago and far away, there was a man she cared for and who cared for her. She sometimes remembers him, especially when she is in the company of her daughter, Jude. It occasionally occurs to Alice that Harald will appear out of the blue, and she wonders what would happen if he did. But for the most part her work absorbs her, sometimes too much.
Climbing the ranks to Detective Chief Inspector was not easy. However, it was an undeniable fact that Alice Candy had a talent that could not be ignored, and finally she settled in a medium-sized town called Allarton, in the East of England, close to her daughter and her new husband.
Teamed with Detective Sergeant Will Brady, a bright, meticulous and loyal officer, they make a formidable duo.
Now in her early forties, Alice feels a calm brought on by personal and financial security. She observes the world and the people she knows with a rye understanding, free of cynicism or judgement. She is content.

In her latest challenge, a simple hit and run turns out to be anything but...
