Quando sei il capo della Omicidi di San Francisco, anche una tranquilla domenica di jogging può trasformarsi in un incubo. È quello che accade al tenente Lindsay Boxer, che si trova ad assistere all’esplosione della villa di Morton Lightower, uno spregiudicato imprenditore. Gettandosi tra le fiamme, Lindsay riesce a salvare il figlio di Lightower, ma tra le macerie rimangono tre cadaveri. Disgrazia o attentato? Sulla scena del delitto inoltre non c’è traccia né della figlia minore dell’imprenditore, né della baby-sitter che si occupava di lei. Mentre Lindsay indaga in questa direzione, un altro omicidio sconvolge l’opinione pubblica: questa volta la vittima è il presidente di una compagnia di assicurazioni, e l’assassino è ancora August Spies… Ancora una volta il tenente Boxer dovrà ricorrere all’aiuto delle sue inseparabili amiche, che con lei formano le «donne del club omicidi»: Jill Bernhardt, sostituto procuratore, Claire Washburn, medico legale e Cindy Thomas, giornalista. La partita contro il killer è aperta…

2nd Chance reconvenes the Women's Murder Club, four friends (a detective, a reporter, an assistant district attorney, and a medical examiner) who used their networking skills, feminine intuition, and professional wiles to solve a baffling series of murders in 1st to Die . This time, the murders of two African Americans, a little girl and an old woman, bear all the signs of a serial killer for Lindsay Boxer, newly promoted to lieutenant of San Francisco's homicide squad. But there's an odd detail she finds even more disturbing: both victims were related to city cops. A symbol glimpsed at both murder scenes leads to a racist hate group, but the taunting killer strikes again and again, leaving deliberate clues and eluding the police ever more cleverly. In the meantime, each of the women has a personal stake at risk--and the killer knows who they are.

Convinto che Sophie sia ancora viva, Hugh riesce a entrare alla corte di Baldwin fingendosi un giullare, conosce una giovane nobildonna che si innamora di lui e scopre la verità sulla moglie.
