When four friends meet up for a girls' night out, only three of them make it home alive. Maria Turnbull's friends think her death was the result of an existing heart condition, but the pathologist thinks otherwise. When other people close to the astrologer they visited that night are murdered, detectives Burton and Fielding begin to suspect her. But is it misdirection on the part of the killer and, if so, why is she being implicated?
