  When Janika

  suicide. Sam Jones was a detective with the local CID, and Janika
  
  
  is determined to prove he was murdered. Realising she has detective
  
  
  skills of her own, she trains to be a private investigator, and
  
  
  sets up an office above the Button Up coffee shop owned by Abi
  
  
  Wells, a girl she knew at school as Abi Button.
  
  
  Calling her
  
  
  business the Button Up Detective Agency, Janika sets out to find
  
  
  her own cases to investigate, having been warned by the police not

  resist when the opportunity arises. When things turn nasty, who can
  
  
  she trust?
