She has formed a close partnership with Detective Sergeant Colin MacNee.

Fiske and MacNee investigate and their enquiries involve the royal household, UK-Scotland political sensitivities, the blackmail of police officer by a reporter, historic crimes, emigration to Canada and international collaboration between police forces.
