The body of a badly beaten young girl is found dumped in a parking garage in San Francisco. Identification is not made until the following day. How did she get there? Who is responsible? The case comes to the attention of three private investigators not because they are hired, but because one of the detectives, Rhonda Daley, is personally involved. Second in the Fulton House Detective Agency series, the story is both a mystery and an opportunity to know more about the trio and their personal lives.
