Los Angeles. A naked man appears out of nowhere and is hit by a moving van. As the denizens of the neighborhood begin to congregate, Milo Sturgis realizes there's no way to identify this body: there's no ID. The first lead comes from a crotchety old man who lives down the block, who tells them there's a woman who has men coming in and out at all hours of the day and night. What Sturgis and Delaware see from outside her barred windows will make things take another complicated turn: the woman is lying on the kitchen floor, blood everywhere. Delaware recognizes the woman as an online psychologist, cyber-counseling people plagued with relationship issues. -- adapted from back cover
