Detective Olivia Winston and IRS Special Agent Maureen Jeffries have "tied the knot" and happily settled into married life. But crime in their home county of Goslyn hasn't settled down—in fact, it's at an all-time high. Drugs and corruption have found a foothole in the once small, quiet community, and Olivia and Maureen discover it's a family affair that reaches from the street corner dealer right up to the County Board of Supervisors. The love-hate drama between Supervisor Cleo Jacobs and her street-wise nephew, Chris Jacobs, has filled their pockets with plenty of cash but caused a dangerous rift between the two as both try to make their mark in the drug game. Driven by greed and ego, the Jacobs do their best to satisfy the growing demand for pills that “make you happy” and “numb the pain.” But their love of money comes with a callous disregard for others, including those close to Detective Winston and Special Agent Jeffries, who find themselves right in the middle of Goslyn’s biggest crime story. Love, violence, and betrayal combine to make the perfect, poisonous pill.

The report Cities in the World: A New Perspective on Urbanisation addresses this void and provides new insights on urbanisation by applying for the first time two new definitions of human settlements to the entire globe: the Degree of Urbanisation and the Functional Urban Area.
