Über Calling Hours

In 'Calling Hours,' attorney Clive Townsend, Boone's friend and source of business for the office, refers what looks like a garden variety case of insurance fraud. Burglars had raided a local warehouse, and the insurance company suspects inside involvement in the heist. As Boone investigates, the case turns out to be more complex than it first appeared. And when people inside the company start dying, Boone has to wonder who is the killer's next victim, and whether this is a case of insurance fraud, or something else? A teen-aged girl seeks Marianne's help in recovering some private and embarrassing digital images of herself on social media. Marianne tries to help the girl, who she suspects has been groomed for pornography by an online predator using social media as a hunting ground. Only after it's too late to help does she learn the teen-ager was on the verge of being forced into prostitution. Knowing the criminal justice system is weak, if not ineffectual against predators, what can she do? What must she do? Meanwhile, Marianne is spearheading the effort to locate larger office space to accommodate agency growth. Boone is resistant to the move, but with the spiraling crime in downtown Albany, and Marianne making him an offer he can't refuse, gives in. At the same time, Marianne comes to realize her life alone since the murder of her fiancé Toph (Journeys and Unaccountable), lacks the fulfillment of loving someone, and being loved in return.
