When Warshawski swerves to avoid hitting a woman on a dark street, she never would have expected it to be Nicola Aguinaldo, a woman on the run from prison. Soon enough she finds herself in the middle of an aggressive investigation into Nicola's death. All the while an old ally, one-time lover, begins writing for a new entertainment conglomerate and starts selling Warshawski down the river.
