Amy assumes her duties as San Francisco's first female police chief. Her first assignment: an old friend is suspected of murder, and a mad bomber is striking the city.
A party host passes out to find a strange, very dead, woman in his apartment and himself as the prime suspect. Amy also takes on some phony checks and a cat burglar.
Amy's quarry is a renegade cop who killed a drug dealer and the fellow officer who witnessed his crime.
