Overview:

Miller is a great agent working in London and although she has closed many cases in her career she is still haunted by her childhood memories of her mother being killed after a run in with the Kingsley brothers when she was only 8 years old – she has a personal vendetta against them for what they did to her family and was happy to see them arrested and set to go to jail for the rest of their lives a few months previously. After closing yet another case in Washington she is forced to return home to the UK as she hears the news of their release as they managed to manipulate the jury to free them. She has the key to putting them away for good but must find them
