Lindsay, a homicide inspector in the city's police department... Claire, a medical examiner...Jill, an assistant D.A...and Cindy, a reporter on the crime desk of the San Francisco Chronicle, now look for a criminal who has sprayed bullets into a crowd of choir boys and girls leaving a San Francisco church. Miraculously -- or was it the intention of the shooter? -- only one child dies. Then the killer strikes again, leaving his mystifying calling card -- and the body of an elderly woman.
