First published 2016
Detective Lindsay Boxer thought she had it all. Her marriage thrives, her baby daughter brings joy, and her work with San Francisco Homicide runs smoothly. Then a call comes in from the Four Seasons Hotel that changes everything. A man lies dead in his room, killed at point blank range. He registered with a fake name and carries no identification. Next door, two young people are also shot dead, surrounded by sophisticated surveillance gear. Were they watching the first victim? Down the hall, a hotel maid's body waits in a utility closet. The three crime scenes connect in ways that suggest professional killers at work. But Lindsay cannot determine what drove someone to orchestrate this elaborate hit. As she digs deeper into the mystery, the investigation threatens to destroy the perfect life she has built. Lindsay must choose how much she will sacrifice to catch the killers.
