Detective Lindsay Boxer arrives at a murder scene in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park expecting routine police work. She finds Warren Jacobi's corpse instead.

He leaves Lindsay a clue that points beyond the park. The evidence creates a path stretching down the west coast. Lindsay calls on the Women's Murder Club for help. They promise to track down Jacobi's killer. The murderer has already shown a willingness to target law enforcement. The club members know they could be next. They race to solve the case before the killer decides to eliminate more cops who get too close to the truth.
