Control (2016)

"Detective-Sergeant Kate Burnham isn't making any friends in the Washington DC Police Department. That makes her the perfect scapegoat when a routine homicide investigation threatens to blow open a criminal conspiracy that reaches to the upper echelons of the DC power elite. Kate makes it go away, or they make her go away. Cop or criminal, power is all about control, applied top-down from the penthouse elite to the hustlers on the street. But what happens when the street pushes back...?"

"Detective-Sergeant Kate Burnham's homicide investigation leads to embarrassing revelations about a powerful Senator's sex life. But is his involvement a vital clue, a deliberate misdirection or a warning? Only one surviving witness knows the awful truth - and he's next on the killer's hit list!"

"Washington DC detective Kate Burnham interrupted an assassination attempt. Now the killer is back to finish the job, and he'll let nothing stand in his way - including Kate! The noose is tightening... 'With Control, we wanted to write a 100% police procedural, the kind of smart, character-driven, real-world crime drama that rules on TV. It's about sex, power, and systems of control and how the little guys have to game a system that's rigged against them.' - Andy Diggle"

"There's a deadly plot in the highest echelons of the Washington elite and the bodies are piling up, cops and civilians both!

"It was never just a routine homicide case. Detective-Sergeant Kate Burnham tried to be professional about it. That didn't work out. And now, as a well-laid trap is sprung and the bodies pile up in her wake, it's about to get just a little too personal..."

"Kate has discovered the deadly secret of the Black Room. But the men who hold the keys to power will not let her live to reveal it to the world. This is no time for politics and professionalism: it's kill or be killed..."
