Series from 2005
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson is a world-class interrogator whose quirks and hard-nosed approach can rub her colleagues the wrong way. But when it…
When Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson arrives in Los Angeles from Atlanta, Georgia, she immediately finds herself thrust into a very different way of life. She struggles to get over her past problems while dealing with co-workers who resent the fact that she leapfrogged over many veteran cops to the elevated position of deputy police chief. Her quirky personality and hard-nosed approach to her job immediately irritate her colleagues, as does the fact that she is a tough-minded Southern woman in a department dominated by men. Although focused on her career, she's also trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to overcome her love of doughnuts, chocolate bars and other snacks and to reignite a personal life that has fallen by the wayside.
Brenda retraces the final days of a murdered former model.
A call girl with a high-class clientele is murdered and Brenda and the squad is put on the case.
Gang on gang violence escalates and may be brought on by an ex-Army sniper.
Brenda's checkered past comes to back to haunt her as she investigates a death linked to a pharmaceutical drug test.
Brenda investigates the murder of a U.S. Congresswoman's daughter, who may have been targeted because of an online personal ad involving role-playing in a fantasy "rape" scene. As the investigation unfolds, Brenda becomes a target in a frightening incident that leaves her emotionally and physically shaken.
