Lt Mendoza has a new baby at home and a big caseload of crimes to solve at work including the murder of an un-wanted newborn. Also there is the assault of a 12-year-old girl, the murder of a respectable middle-aged woman from Indianapolis, a string of hit and runs involving a Model A Ford and a bizarre mugger with a penchant for footwear and to top it off the weather has not been the best it could be.
