Dr. Mark Sloan is drawn to the sounds of gunfire at his neighbor's Malibu beach house. There, he discovers the bullet-riddled bodies of an aspiring actress and a Hollywood producer. An obvious suspect is the producer's wife--who has gunpowder residue all over her clothing, but also has a perfect alibi. However, Mark thinks that the crime scene resembles a hit more than a crime of passion. When he and his son start investigating a local mob kingpin's involvement, Mark soon finds himself unpopular with the police--and, of course, with the murderer.
This is one of the best books of the series! Mark is actually accused of murdering his neighbor. Of course, he figures out who done it in the end, but it's so interesting to follow him through the process!
