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.

Quando sei il capo della Squadra Omicidi di San Francisco, anche una serena domenica di jogging può trasformarsi in un incubo. È quello che accade al tenente Lindsay Boxer, che si trova ad assistere casualmente all’esplosione della splendida 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? A fugare ogni dubbio è un volantino di rivendicazione firmato da un misterioso August Spies, che accusa Lightower di essere un nemico del popolo. Non solo: sulla scena del delitto non c’è traccia della figlia minore dell’imprenditore, di soli sei mesi. E dov’è la baby-sitter che si occupava di lei? Ancora una volta il tenente Boxer dovrà ricorrere all’aiuto delle amiche inseparabili che con lei formano il Women’s Murder Club: Jill Bernhardt, sostituto procuratore, Claire Washburn, medico legale e Cindy Thomas, giornalista. Inizia così una pericolosa partita contro un serial killer astuto e inafferrabile, che nel suo terribile disegno di morte arriverà a prendere di mira proprio una di loro...
