One of Sloans few friends, Ben Tolberg, is murdered at the Hotel del Coronado across the bay from San Diego. Complicating the case is the crime scene in which Tolberg, intense, driven and morally straight, is found on a bed with a known high-class call girl, both of them naked, both of them dead.

The protégés are punks, amateurs trying to learn the business of murder without remorse. Underlying the mayhem is Sloans need to know who hired the hit man and Sloans fight to stay alive to bring the killer to justice.
