She works to solve the murder and uncover Elm Hill's dark secrets with an informal team of associates who call themselves the "Black Angels." Their efforts uncover a conspiracy of sex and greed that explains the murder of Judge Adams and culminate in a night of discovery and danger for Nurse Mason and Andy Russell, a university student who is her temporary assistant, in Elm Hill's Violent Ward.
