Saving Grace

"Georgie, a man with Down syndrome, tries to rob a drive-in diner with a wooden gun, but winds up getting shot and killed by another customer with a real gun. It’s clear to everyone, however, that Georgie could not have acted alone. The investigation leads to the special home in which Georgie was living. There, the squad find his best friend, Andrew, who has a similar wooden gun. Andrew quickly becomes the key to solving the mystery of who helped Georgie rob different establishments, but Andrew’s own Downs syndrome makes it difficult for Grace to get the information she needs to solve the case. Meanwhile, Grace begins dating Jack, the grown son of her elderly, voyeuristic neighbor. Jack is an atheist, which provides a unique challenge for Earl."

"A court trial for the murderer of a young woman is about to begin, and the brash, arrogant, intrusive defense attorney is ready to go over the entire investigation with a fine-toothed comb, even if it means digging into the officers’ personal lives. Grace’s own sex life is put on display for all to see just as she is getting ready to attend – or rather avoid attending – her nephew Clay’s upcoming confirmation. And Ham decides to make his true feelings known to Grace."

"A burned vehicle is found, and inside are pictures of Grace’s sister, Paige, talking to an unknown man. At first, Grace suspects the vehicle is owned by a private investigator and that the photos show Paige having an affair. Rhetta tries to make sense of the items Earl has left behind for Grace and soon discovers the shocking truth that devastates Grace and forces her to face her painful past and the abuse she once suffered at the hands of a priest. But that’s just one earth-shattering discovery that Grace must face."
