A few months of police academy later, Phair is eager to join the ranks of the boys and girls in blue, but even she couldn't predict she'd respond to a homicide her very first shift.Now an alchemist has been murdered, a precious artifact has been stolen, and like it or not, Phair's in the thick of the investigation. But cracking the case is easy compared to navigating the unwritten rules of the police department. Unlike what her Nana might've told her, the law isn't always FAIR AND JUST.
