Captain Lipschitz partners Sgt.'s Tom Ryan and Cassandra St. John--a divorced couple that
used to be one of his best homicide teams. Soon after, the Sergeants get a call stating
that "the Navy jet that crashed this morning was no accident" and that it was
caused by the R.I.O. Randy Rawlings. When Tom and Cassy get to the crash site, they run
into Navy intelligence officers Ken Baines and Barbara Ferry who have the Sergeants
ushered from the crime scene. Tom and Cassy refuse to give up so easily, and begin their
own investigation, starting with questioning Randy Rawlings, the civilian test pilot who
served as R.I.O. for Carolyn Mayfield, the pilot who died during the crash.

Tom and Cassy investigate what appears to be a double suicide by a wealthy gay couple. The
deceased, Stewart Defore and Lance Crenshaw, were lead fashion designers, and part owners
of the Rivers Crossing swimsuit manufacturing company. Tom and Cassy suspect foul play,
and their primary suspect is Rikki Rivers--the co-owner of the business--since she had the
most to gain from the deaths. Another suspect is Chance Reynolds, Rikki's ex-husband, who
had given his 20% of the company to Stewart and Lance. Meanwhile, Tom goes out with the
anal retentive Judith Millay.

Mickey Meyerson, a prominent divorce attorney, is found murdered in a parking garage in
what looks like a professional hit. The Captain tells Tom and Cassy to stick with the list
of Meyerson's clients, and to not to go off on any hunches. While perusing the list, Tom
notices that Judge Drell tried most of Meyerson's cases, and has a hunch that the judge is
dirty. With the aid of some of Cassy's nerdy friends, the sergeants are able to track one
of the cars that left the garage the night of the murder to Sammy Porcaro, "one of
Nicky the Greek's goons;" and it just so happens that Nicky the Greek is going before
Judge Drell. Sgt. Ryan soon suspects a re-hashing of the old "Strangers on a
Train" plot. Other suspects include Norman Harrison--the only husband that Meyerson
ever defended--and Patricia Van Barrow--Meyerson's partner and insurance policy
beneficiary. Meanwhile, Cassy wonders about Tom's secret phone conversations.
