Böse Herzen
Detective Kit McKittrick vom Morddezernat des San Diego Police Department wird in die Seniorenwohnanlage Shady Oaks gerufen. Man hat die Leiche eines fünfundachtzigjährigen Bewohners gefunden, der erstochen wurde. Der Mann hat sich offensichtlich gegen seinen Angreifer gewehrt, und seine Wohnung ist völlig verwüstet worden. Wer hatte es auf Frankie, einen ehemaligen Cop, abgesehen – und vor allem, warum? War Frankie ein einmaliges Opfer, oder sind die anderen Bewohner von Shady Oaks ebenfalls in Gefahr?
Kit McKittrick beginnt mit den Zeugenbefragungen, wird aber schnell ausgebremst. Die meisten Bewohner zeigen sich alles andere als kooperativ. Shady Oaks, so kann Kit erahnen, scheint so einige Leichen im Keller zu haben, doch sie kommt nicht weiter.
Um den Fall zu lösen, muss Kit wohl oder übel ein weiteres Mal mit Dr. Sam Reeves zusammenarbeiten, der ehrenamtlich in Shady Oaks tätig ist und gute Beziehungen zu Bewohnern und Angestellten pflegt. Dabei weckt der Psychologe Gefühle in ihr, die sie lieber ignorieren würde …
