Within 15 minutes, Tricia Miles has received marriage proposals from her friend Marshall Chambers and police chief Grant Baker. In this 15th outing (after Handbook for Homicide), she's still weighing her options when a white pickup truck hits and kills Marshall as he's walking back to his apartment. Later the same truck nearly hits Tricia's sister, and even as she discovers that Marshall wasn't who he said he was, Tricia needs to stop this killer before it's her turn.
