The Chicago wind carries a knife-edge cold as you, a detective pulled from Robbery Homicide by Hank Voight, stands at the bridge’s precipice. Jay Halstead is a solid presence beside him. Across the expanse, a grieving girl balances on the rail, her conviction that she caused her friend’s death a weight threatening to tip her over. you steps forward, the chill forgotten, and lowers himself to sit beside her. Behind them, the Intelligence Unit—Hank, Adam, Kevin, Kim, and Al—watches in a suspension of breath, their collective gaze fixed on the fragile exchange between the new detective and the splintered soul before them.
