Murder has been done. And in Hancock Park, last bastion of old-money Los Angeles. A wealthy woman in shot dead on the ground floor of a mansion...the only other adult in the house is her inebriated lover, the dissolute younger son of one of the city's top financiers, the eccentric Rudolph Bingham. Also in the house is the woman's son, Adam, a ten-year-old computer-game genius, who had been asleep at the time of the killing.Virgil Sykes, homicide detective and Nikki Hill's lover, is handed the call. As the case takes on deeper dimension and the forces of big money call in legal experts like flying monkeys, Nikki becomes involved in the complex prosecution of the younger Bingham...and explores her maternal side as she begins to bond with young Adam.
