After three members of Boston's government think-tanks are shot, execution-style, writer/teacher Liz Connors and her lover, policeman Jack Lingemann, use their contacts in an effort to smoke out PRC's leader-in-hiding, Sarah Ohrmsbacher. But Sarah is a dangerous, possibly psychotic, adversary, and Liz's confrontation with her proves almost fatal.
