About the book
San Francisco homicide lieutenant Lindsay Boxer joins Inspector Warren Jacobi on a stakeout that ends in a chase, a crash and a shootout with two teenagers, leaving one dead and the other paralyzed. Cleared legally, Boxer is then sued for wrongful death by their father. Before the trial, she retreats to her sister's house in Half Moon Bay, where she reads about killings in which victims had their throats cut and were whipped. The crimes echo an old unsolved case, so she begins investigating on her own while her friends help her search for a link between the victims.
