Kansas City in the 1940s is full of corruption and danger. As the city moves from home rule to state control, law enforcement agencies struggle to overcome the criminal element on the street. But when a young Kansas City socialite, Leigh St. Marie, is found murdered in her bed, Detective Sergeant John Walker and his partner, Detective Lieutenant James R. O'Malley, become part of an elite task force of incorruptible police officers assigned to the grisly investigation. Spurred by the pressure of an impending election, the task force is pushed to come to rapid conclusion and arrest. Even though the evidence doesn't warrant it, O'Malley is ordered to arrest Leigh's brother for the crime. But when another woman is murdered, the police wonder if they have a serial killer on their hands. With time running out and pressure mounting from above, O'Malley and Walker hit the streets-hopefully before the killer strikes again. Brimming with suspense and high-speed action, Beyond Remorse portrays the seedy underbelly of crime and the heroic acts of one city's police force.
