A wolf in sheep's clothing

Detective Lindsay Boxer doesn't know who she can trust. A weapon stolen from a police evidence locker is used in a series of vigilante murders, and Lindsay must investigate her closest colleagues and ask herself if they are capable of such heinous crimes.

When two severed heads are left in a famous actor's garden, Lindsay is called to investigate the grisly scene, unearthing a third head and wondering how many more she'll find before she catches the killer.

Amid the chaos of these crimes, Lindsay struggles with her pregnancy and the vindictive reporter dragging her personal life into the public eye. She and her unborn baby are heading into dangerous territory...
