Read by Bernadette Dunne.

A random series of murders is only a succession of headlines in the San Francisco Chronicle for investigator Sharon McCone until one of her legal co-op's clients, Perry Hilderly, becomes a victim. McCone discovers that the dead man had disinherited his children and left his estate to four strangers, all with ties to a distant crime. As Sharon tries to track down this strange quartet she notices a pattern - a tangled pattern of involvement leading back to the Vietnam War. And when the random killer starts to strike closer to home, Sharon is personally confronted with the brutal consequences of murderous rage.
