A young mother is recuperating in a San Francisco hospital when she is suddenly gasping for breath. Help doesn't come in time. The hospital's doctors, some of the best in the nation, are completelly mystified by her death. This is not the first such case at the hospital. Just as patients are about to be released with a clean bill of health, their conditions take a devastating turn for the worse.

When someone close to her begins to exhibit the same frightening symptoms, Lindsay fears no one is safe. But the hospital is determined to shield its reputation at all costs. And while the hospital wages a court battle that grips the entire nation, Lindsay and the Women's Murder Club must hunt a merciless killer.
