Keating: A Detective under Fire (USA 2004) From the Publisher: After a newspaper article hints at major scandal in the prestigious Maximum Crime Squad, Harriet Martens is surprised to be chosen head of the investigation. Martens got the nickname the "Hard Detective" for her reputation for being tough on crime, but she is still relatively lowranking, especially for such an ultrasensitive case. She later learns she got the job because one of the powers above considers her "a female gentleman." Her crew unfortunately has a different view of her character, which doesn't help her get to the bottom of the scandal. H.R.F. Keating: A Detective under Fire.
