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…
