I’m running down an alleyway, it's dark, my badge rattles against my chest on its chain, and my gun is tucked into my front pocket in my jeans. “STOP!” I scream, the man’s head turns, but he keeps on running. I continue chasing him for a few blocks, then he turns down a backstreet. I round the corner into the street, then he stops, turns around and goes to pull a gun on me. That’s when my instincts kick in, and I shoot him first.Detective Lilly Grey was just an average cop, until she started the Rumour of the century. A cop turned murderer. Plastering Lilly with the brand of a criminal. Can she prove the world otherwise?
