After a botched federal sting left her career in ruins, this case is her last shot at redemption. When she's paired with Woodhead to solve the suspicious death of a graduate student at a prestigious university in Milwaukee, it's clear neither of them is thrilled about the arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe victim was found inside a 15th-century chapel on campus, a syringe sticking out of his arm--and a rare hallucinogen in his bloodstream.
