Is it Steffi Mundell, colleague, ex-lover and rival? Rory Smilow, homicide detective and Hammonds avowed enemy? Is it the dead man's widow, wily, beautiful and Hammond's lifelong friend? Or is it Hammond's prime suspect, the mysterious woman who shares the secret that would be fatal to Hammond's ambitions?
