Detective Lindsay Boxer vows to protect a young woman from a serial killer long enough to see her twenty-first birthday.When a distraught mother pleads with San Francisco Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas to investigate the disappearance of her daughter Tara and baby granddaughter Lorrie, Cindy immediately loops in SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer.
