Behind the closed doors of San Francisco's mansions, beautiful people party the nights away. But someone else is intent on crashing the party. A rock star, a fashion designer, a software tycoon and a millionaire heiress are all dead. Detective Lindsay Boxer is quickly assigned to the case. In stark contrast, few people seem as interested when a local hero, Bagman Jesus, is brutally murdered. Reporter Cindy Thomas soon becomes interested in his story: his work with the homeless of San Francisco was admirable. Could he have been hiding a dark secret? The Women's Murder Club need each other more than ever but with tensions running high will the friends be strong enough to stick together?
