LatestThe team discovers an incarcerated man could be responsible for a recent crime; Sweeney orders round-the-clock security when a hit is ordered; Jane ends up accompanying two people on an uncomfortable date.
Detective Jane Timoney finds that being a homicide detective in New York City is tough enough and having to contend with a male-dominated police department to get respect makes it that much tougher. She's an outsider who has just transferred to a new precinct dominated by an impenetrable clique of a boys' club. Timoney has her own vices too – with a questionable past – and she tends to be forceful, rude and reckless. But she's also a brilliant cop who keeps her eye on one thing: the prime suspect.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This American remake of Lynda La Plante's British classic swapped Helen Mirren's frost for Maria Bello's volcanic heat — and NBC couldn't handle the temperature.
Bello personally sourced those iconic fedoras from a vintage dealer in Brooklyn; the wardrobe department originally wanted her in standard detective jackets.
