Season 2 | Episode 8: Master Manipulator
A man with no money and no trace of a criminal history is found beaten to death inside his home. His soon-to-be ex-wife has a score to settle with him but her alibi is rock-solid. Did she have him killed?
Niagara's first female homicide investigator, Detective Keri Harrison (portrayed by Maxim Roy), follows her gut instinct to pursue a suspect even though evidence suggests they have no involvement. For her first case as lead investigator, Harrison sifts through an unusual cast of characters, a peculiar and violent murder plot and questions of morality that she never could have expected.
"It showed me the depths that people will go to manipulate others and it quickly became one of the strangest cases of my career."
