The world is attacked by a virus, and some deluded killer actively spreads the disease. There's a new murder in a Melbourne creek, and a 32 year-old murder on a Queenscliff beach. Does Jo create a new world record by arresting a killer while together they fall off a roof? With her career at the crossroads, and an offer she finds intriguing, have we seen the last of Detective Joanna Best?' (Publication summary)
