Following the events of Between the Calls: Beginning, Tessa Bright is nearly four years into her LAPD career-and far beyond the uncertainty of her rookie days.

Becoming--The Academy is behind her. So is probation. After more than two years working patrol at Southwest, Tessa knows how quickly an ordinary shift can turn into anything but ordinary.

She has chased suspects, walked into homes without knowing what waited on the other side of the door, faced tragedy, made mistakes, learned from veteran officers, and discovered that some of the best stories in police work are the ones nobody outside the job would ever believe.

Now a transfer to Northeast Division gives her a new station, new personalities, new neighborhoods-and an entirely new collection of calls.

Tessa is experienced enough to trust her instincts, but nowhere near finished learning.

The radio sends her toward frightened victims, bizarre encounters, dangerous suspects, undercover assignments, investigations, and cases that refuse to stay neatly contained inside an eight-hour shift. Some calls are over in minutes. Others remain with her for years.

One begins with an open 911 line and leads officers through a house searching for something they cannot yet see.

Another starts with something as simple as a missing shoe.

And sometimes the most unforgettable moments happen without a radio call at all.

But police work is only one part of Tessa's life.

Gia is growing up, and the little girl who once waited for her mother to come home from the Academy is beginning to understand more about the world behind the badge.

Giovanni "Gio" Goffrini, Tessa's FBI-agent ex-husband, remains firmly connected to their family even as the life they once shared continues moving in different directions.

Michelle is building her own career in the Department. Alyssa has become part of the family. And Romano-Tessa's fellow officer, closest friend, frequent source of aggravation, and one of the most dependable people in her life-is becoming increasingly difficult to describe with the word friend alone.

Then there is Danny Mercer.

What begins as a relationship with a fellow officer gradually becomes something far more complicated, forcing Tessa to confront the difference between what someone tells you and what you should have seen for yourself.

Through it all, the job keeps moving.

There are pursuits and practical jokes. Undercover operations and station-house chaos. Career opportunities, bad relationships, friendships that deepen, and moments of laughter in places where laughter sometimes seems impossible.

There are also the calls that change people.

The victims Tessa cannot forget.

The officers who carry their own scars.

And the uncomfortable realization that experience does not make the job simpler. It only makes you understand more clearly what can be lost.

As the years pass, Tessa continues writing private letters to Gia-not really for the little girl Gia is now, but for the woman she will someday become. In those pages, Tessa records the things she cannot always explain at the dinner table: what she saw, what she felt, the choices she made, and the person she is becoming along the way.

Between the Calls: Patrol follows Tessa Bright beyond her rookie years and into the period when police work has become part of the rhythm of her life.

She knows how to wear the uniform now.
She knows how to answer the radio.

What she is still discovering is how much of herself she is willing to give the job-and what she needs to hold onto when the shift is over.

Because the calls may shape a career.

But the life built between them shapes everything else.
