A young boy witnesses a murder, but who will find him first... the cops or the killer? When blonde, beautiful Lisa Boehlinger Ramsey is found brutally stabbed to death in a parking lot of Los Angeles' Griffith Park, a highly sensitive investigation begins for Detective Petra Connor and her partner Stu Bishop. For Lisa was the ex-wife of TV star Cart Ramsey, and just before their acrimonious divorce, Lisa had publicly revealed how Ramsey had beaten her up, so suspicion must fall on the millionaire actor.
But this is LA, home of media frenzy and OJ Simpson, and the brass at LAPD do not want history repeated. Meanwhile, forensic evidence points to a witness to the murder: 12 year old Billy Straight, a runaway living rough in Griffith Park. Billy is a very scared little boy, too frightened to come forward, and when Lisa's parents put a reward out on him, only Petra realises the peril in which this child has been placed.
