The body of a woman who had been missing for 3 years is found. Her husband, acquitted for lack of evidence but now seen as guilty, asks Alex for help. As she investigates for her podcast, a colleague investigates fishy river shipping.
Alex and 2 colleagues investigate a 1 year old, suspicious CO2 death at a vineyard, of the founder. His 2 sons inherited his 60% share. But a newly found, unsigned will gives all to 1 son. Is it murder? Is it the other son, his wife or...?
When a man's body is discovered in a pond, his wife finds herself in a complex trial, which causes podcaster Alex and the Chronicle team to seek answers surrounding the unusual case.
