A bride and groom are found slaughtered in their honeymoon suite hours after saying I do. San Francisco homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer stands over the blood-soaked sheets and feels the case crawl under her skin, because another newlywed couple is already dead and she has just been told she may have a fatal blood disease. With the department under pressure and the killer hunting wedding nights, she starts meeting after hours with three women she trusts, a coroner, a young reporter and an assistant district attorney, trading what the official channels will not share. Together they see the pattern sharpen. To stay on the case Lindsay must risk her body, her badge and their secret alliance.
