Entre jalousie et rivalités familiales, enquête autour d'un trafic d'argent sale.
3 heures du matin. Le lieutenant Peter Decker est appelé au ranch du milliardaire Guy Kaffey. Une épouvantable scène de crime l'y attend : Kaffey, son épouse et trois de leurs employés ont été tués par balle. Le magnat de l'immobilier s'était taillé une réputation de philantrope en engageant d'anciens délinquants pour les aider à se réinsérer. A-t-il été victime de son entourage ?
Pour découvrir la vérité, Decker va devoir s'immerger dans un Los Angeles très éloigné des clichés de Hollywood. Jusqu'à ce que sa femme, jurée dans un procès, se retrouve par hasard au coeur de son enquête... et sur le chemin des tueurs.
Une intrigue aux ramifications inattendues, avec pour décor le paysage urbain de Los Angeles.
Le lieutenant Decker se voit confier une affaire de double homicide, commis dans un quartier chic de Los Angeles. Les victimes, des femmes, menaient une vie en apparence sans histoire. Mais si Decker a appris une chose au cours de sa carrière, c'est que tout le monde - plus peut-être encore à Los Angeles qu'ailleurs - dissimule sa part d'ombre derrière une façade de respectabilité. L'enquête lui donne bientôt raison : Adrianna, l'une des victimes, appartenait à un cercle où sexe, violence et argent se mêlent dangereusement. De quoi orienter l'enquête vers l'entourage de la jeune femme, même si Decker devine que cette affaire, qui fait sérieusement de l'ombre aux palmiers de la Cité des Anges, est bien plus qu'une simple histoire de luxure et de dollars.
