Amaryllis Coltrain may have recently transferred to the NY police force from Atlanta, but she's been a cop long enough to know how to defend herself against an assailant. Killed by her own weapon. Friends Eve Dallas and Chief Medical Examiner Morris look in to her back ground and find to thier shock, a connection between this case and their own past. A box shows up addressed to Eve with a eary note and Coltraine's gun and badge.
