When women begin dying across the city, deaths dismissed as accidents by colleagues too busy, or too indifferent to look twice, Mabel is the only one willing to follow the thread. The deeper she pulls, the more dangerous it becomes. Desperate for allies, she turns to an unlikely pair: businesswoman Beatrice and former thief Johnnie, of Price's Detective Agency, whose methods are as unorthodox as her own...
